Journal ArticleDOI
Perceptual symbol systems.
TL;DR: A perceptual theory of knowledge can implement a fully functional conceptual system while avoiding problems associated with amodal symbol systems and implications for cognition, neuroscience, evolution, development, and artificial intelligence are explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ad hoc categories
TL;DR: Ad hoc categories possess graded structures as salient as those structuring common categories irrespective of type, the result of a similarity comparison process that imposes graded structure on any category regardless of type.
Journal ArticleDOI
Embodiment in Attitudes, Social Perception, and Emotion
TL;DR: This work proposes that theories of embodied cognition, such as the Perceptual Symbol Systems (PSS) account (Barsalou, 1999), explain and integrate findings, and shows how the PSS account addresses criticisms that have previously posed problems for the general embodiment approach.
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
Ideals' central tendency, and frequency of instantiation as determinants of graded structure in categories
TL;DR: It is proposed that graded structures do not reflect invariant structures associated with categories but instead reflect people's dynamic ability to construct concepts.
