Informational Networks: A Meta-architecture for Situated Cognition
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The paper attempts to provide a conceptual basis for allusions to information processing in discussions about cognition. It de nes the notions of informational medium as a subsystem within a larger dynamical system, the notions of information processing and information management operations, and the notion of informational network a network of informational media. It suggest that situated cognitive systems can be modeled with the help of informational networks at a high level of abstraction. Finally, it examines various properties that informational media may need to posses to participate in an informational network. Understanding those properties helps understand some of the design constraints on various cognitive/AI mechanisms.

General Situated Cognition
I develop a theory of General Situated Cognition. The project has several goals: (1) to unify existing foundational approaches to cognition; (2) to characterize the function of cognition in autonomous systems and suggest a general (meta-)framework for cognitive architecture; (3) to provide su ciency conditions and a classi cation of representation mechanisms in natural and arti cial cognitive s...
متن کاملAn embodied account of serial order: How instabilities drive sequence generation
Learning and generating serially ordered sequences of actions is a core component of cognition both in organisms and in artificial cognitive systems. When these systems are embodied and situated in partially unknown environments, specific constraints arise for any neural mechanism of sequence generation. In particular, sequential action must resist fluctuating sensory information and be capable...
متن کاملActivity States Framework as an Experimental Approach to Studying, and Modeling Context in Web-Mediated Collaborative Dialogs
We have experimented with the notion of — conceptualization, and contextualization from situated cognition and psychic reflection from activity theory for studying, and modeling context into a method called the activity states framework (ASF). The purpose of the ASF is to provide a method of analysis for identifying collaborators activity during situated context − specific to Web-mediated colla...
متن کاملCognitive Architecture and Perceptual Inference
In this position paper we discuss some general properties involved in high-level cognition in situated agents, and sketch an architecture relating sub-symbolic and symbolic information, in which the notion of perceptual inference plays a central role. An expectation driven architecture for high-
متن کاملModular architectures and informational encapsulation: A dilemma
Amongst philosophers and cognitive scientists, modularity remains a popular choice for an architecture of the human mind, primarily because of the supposed explanatory value of this approach. Modular architectures can vary both with respect to the strength of the notion of modularity and the scope of the modularity of mind. We propose a dilemma for modular architectures, no matter how these arc...
