Naming Observed Objects (revised)

چکیده
This paper sketches an operational semantics and protocol for naming observed objects. The semantics and protocol are motivated by a philosophical account of reference. We illustrate the protocol on an example in which two agents jointly explore an unknown domain and exchange information about observed objects. The protocol is examined for compatibility with two forms of default reasoning. We then raise problems for it, and discuss possible solutions.

Seriality of phonological encoding in naming objects and reading their names.
There is a remarkable lack of research bringing together the literatures on oral reading and speaking. As concerns phonological encoding, both models of reading and speaking assume a process of segmental spellout for words, which is followed by serial prosodification in models of speaking (e.g., Levelt, Roelofs, & Meyer, 1999). Thus, a natural place to merge models of reading and speaking would...
متن کاملSemantic Context and Visual Feature Effects in Object Naming: An fMRI Study using Arterial Spin Labeling
Previous behavioral studies reported a robust effect of increased naming latencies when objects to be named were blocked within semantic category, compared to items blocked between category. This semantic context effect has been attributed to various mechanisms including inhibition or excitation of lexico-semantic representations and incremental learning of associations between semantic feature...
متن کاملThe effects of plane rotation on the recognition of brief masked pictures of familiar objects.
Two experiments examined the effects of plane rotation on the recognition of briefly displayed pictures of familiar objects, using a picture-word verification task. Mirroring the results of earlier picture naming studies (Jolicoeur, 1985; Jolicoeur & Milliken, 1989), plane rotation away from a canonical upright orientation reduced the efficiency of recognition, although in contrast to the resul...
متن کاملComparing Verb and Object Naming Between Patients With Parkinson Disease and Patients With Cortical Stroke
Objectives: Based on recent studies, verb naming is more impaired than noun naming in patients with Parkinson Disease (PD). Noun and verb retrieval problems has been well documented in patients with cortical damage. To explore the possible contribution of cortex and subcortex areas in word finding test performance, we studied verb and object naming in patients with cortical and subcortical lesi...
متن کاملHow does using object names influence visual recognition memory?
Two recent lines of research suggest that explicitly naming objects at study influences subsequent memory for those objects at test. Lupyan (2008) suggested that naming impairs memory by a representational shift of stored representations of named objects toward the prototype (labeling effect). MacLeod, Gopie, Hourihan, Neary, and Ozubko (2010) and MacLeod, Ozubko, Forrin, and Hourihan (submitte...
