Journal ArticleDOI

Grounding conceptual knowledge in modality-specific systems.

TL;DR: Theoretical research shows how modality-specific re-enactments could produce basic conceptual functions, such as the type-token distinction, categorical inference, productivity, propositions and abstract concepts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Causal reasoning with forces

TL;DR: A new computational model of such reasoning, the force theory, which holds that people compose causal relations by simulating the processes that join forces in the world, is introduced and compared with the mental model theory and the causal model theory.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dorsolateral prefrontal contributions to human working memory

TL;DR: The findings elucidate the architecture of working memory, providing key neuropsychological evidence for the necessity of dlPFC in the manipulation of verbal and spatial knowledge.

Causal Reasoning from Forces

TL;DR: Barbey and Wolff as mentioned in this paper used a transitive dynamics model to predict the modal response for all but one of the arguments, prevent-prevent, which was influenced by atmosphere of the argument.
Journal ArticleDOI

Superior parietal cortex is critical for the manipulation of information in working memory.

TL;DR: In this article, the superior parietal cortex was found to be critically important for manipulation and rearrangement of information in working memory, but not for long-term memory nor for longterm memory.
