چکیده
Our goal is to develop a methodology for describing commonsense action domains on the basis of a library of actions of a general nature, such as moving an object to a new place. The use of this library in descriptions of specific domains will be similar to the use of libraries of standard subroutines in programming languages. We show how this idea can be applied to several domains familiar from the literature on commonsense reasoning and planning. These domains involve moving containers and vehicles—briefcases, cars and trucks, boats and airplanes. The action descriptions are written in (an extension of) the modular action description language MAD proposed by Lifschitz and Ren, which is now implemented on top of the Causal Calculator.

Basic-level categorization of intermediate complexity fragments reveals top-down effects of expertise in visual perception.
Visual expertise is usually defined as the superior ability to distinguish between exemplars of a homogeneous category. Here, we ask how real-world expertise manifests at basic-level categorization and assess the contribution of stimulus-driven and top-down knowledge-based factors to this manifestation. Car experts and novices categorized computer-selected image fragments of cars, airplanes, an...

The magnitude of personal travel in the industrialised society has increased tremendously. In Sweden, the average travelled distance per person is currently around 40 km per day (see Figure 10.1). Travelling distances are related to speed. Studies show that the time spent on travel tends to be relatively constant at around one hour a day on average. The historical development of new transport t...

The transformation of chemical energy into mechanical energy is elementary in our lives, not only moving cars and airplanes, but pumping blood in our bodies and moving our eyeballs as we read these lines. The reverse action, defined as mechanochemistry [1–3], is to make chemical transformations using mechanical force, and finding simple examples may be challenging for people unfamiliar with
متن کاملAssociation and dissociation between detection and discrimination of objects of expertise: Evidence from visual search.
Expertise in face recognition is characterized by high proficiency in distinguishing between individual faces. However, faces also enjoy an advantage at the early stage of basic-level detection, as demonstrated by efficient visual search for faces among nonface objects. In the present study, we asked (1) whether the face advantage in detection is a unique signature of face expertise, or whether...
