Analogical mapping by constraint satisfaction
Keith J. Holyoak,Paul Thagard +1 more
TL;DR: A theory of analogical mapping between source and target analogs based upon interacting structural, semantic, and pragmatic constraints is proposed here and is able to account for empirical findings regarding the impact of consistency and similarity on human processing of analogies.

Schooling and the Acquisition of Knowledge
Journal ArticleDOI
Parallel computation and the mind-body problem
TL;DR: This paper uses recent work on parallel computation to argue that software and hardware are much more intertwined than the functionalists allow, leading to different styles of programming as well as increased speed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Concepts and conceptual change
TL;DR: The authors argue that questions concerning the nature of concepts that are central in cognitive psychology are also important to epistemology, and that there is more to conceptual change than mere belief revision.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Conceptual Structure of the Chemical Revolution
TL;DR: Using techniques drawn from artificial intelligence, a computational theory of conceptual change is sketched to account for Lavoisier's discovery of the oxygen theory and for the replacement of the phlogiston theory.

Book
Word and Object
TL;DR: This edition offers a new preface by Quine's student and colleague Dagfinn Follesdal that describes the never-realized plans for a second edition of Word and Object, in which Quine would offer a more unified treatment of the public nature of meaning, modalities, and propositional attitudes.
Book ChapterDOI
A framework for representing knowledge
TL;DR: The enormous problem of the volume of background common sense knowledge required to understand even very simple natural language texts is discussed and it is suggested that networks of frames are a reasonable approach to represent such knowledge.
Book
Cognitive Psychology and Its Implications
TL;DR: Anderson as mentioned in this paper constructs a coherent picture of human cognition, relating neural functions to mental processes, perception to abstraction, representation to meaning, knowledge to skill, language to thought, and adult cognition to child development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Categorization and Representation of Physics Problems by Experts and Novices
TL;DR: Results from sorting tasks and protocols reveal that experts and novices begin their problem representations with specifiably different problem categories, and completion of the representations depends on the knowledge associated with the categories.
