Cognitive Control : Componential or Emergent ? Richard
نویسنده
چکیده
The past twenty-five years have witnessed an increasing awareness of the importance of cognitive control in the regulation of complex behavior. It now sits alongside attention, memory, language and thinking as a distinct domain within cognitive psychology. At the same time it permeates each of these sibling domains. This paper reviews recent work on cognitive control in an attempt to provide a context for the fundamental question addressed within this Topic: is cognitive control to be understood as resulting from the interaction of multiple distinct control processes or are the phenomena of cognitive control emergent?

Cognitive Control: Componential or Emergent?
The past 25 years have witnessed an increasing awareness of the importance of cognitive control in the regulation of complex behavior. It now sits alongside attention, memory, language, and thinking as a distinct domain within cognitive psychology. At the same time it permeates each of these sibling domains. This introduction reviews recent work on cognitive control in an attempt to provide a c...
متن کاملComponential Explanation in Philosophy, Cognitive Science and Computer Science
This paper shows how Componential Explanation as discussed within Cognitive Science and Philosophy of Science relates to Compositional Verification in Computer Science. It is shown how formal techniques and methods developed for Compositional Verification provide a formal basis and automated support for Componential Explanation. The role of formalised interlevel relations is shown to be crucial...
متن کاملMirroring and mu rhythm involvement in social cognition: are there dissociable subcomponents of theory of mind?
Tager-Flusberg and Sullivan [Tager-Flusberg, H., Sullivan, K., 2000. A componential view of theory of mind: evidence from Williams syndrome. Cognition 76, 59-90] have argued for a distinction between the social-perceptive component of theory of mind (ToM), involving judgment of mental state from facial and body expressions, and the social-cognitive component, which is representation-based and l...
متن کاملDefining an Ontology of Cognitive Control Requires Attention to Component Interactions
Cognitive control is not only componential, but those components may interact in complicated ways in the service of cognitive control tasks. This complexity poses a challenge for developing an ontological description, because the mapping may not be direct between our task descriptions and true component differences reflected in indicators. To illustrate this point, I discuss two examples: (a) t...
متن کاملA computational exploration of double dissociations: modes of processing instead of components of processing
Two connectionist models are reported that simulated the defining features of the double dissociation between phonological and surface dyslexia in word reading. One model was a feed-forward, three-layer perceptron, and the other included recurrent connections. Neither model contained an architectural separation of sublexical and lexical processes, nor of phonological and semantic processes. Ana...
