Cognitive Mapping of Large-Scale Environments The Interrelationship of Action Plans, Acquisition, and Orientation
TL;DR: In this article, a theory about the acquisition and use of cognitive maps of largescale everyday environments is presented, and the basic assumptions of the theory are (1) people's behavior in social and physical environments is determined by action plans, and, if the execution of such action plans requires traveling, plans for how to travel, termed travel plans, are formed and executed; (2) the cognitive maps acquired are adapted to facilitate movement and travel, and contain information about destinations for travel, spatial information, and travel instructions; and (3) cognitive maps are initially acquired in

Affordances: Four Points of Debate
TL;DR: In this paper, the ontological status of affordances is discussed, as well as the relation between affordances and effectivities. But the ontology does not consider the relationship between affordance and actions, and affordances do not have to be perceived to exist.

Internal models of target motion: expected dynamics overrides measured kinematics in timing manual interceptions.
Myrka Zago,Gianfranco Bosco,Vincenzo Maffei,Marco Iosa,Yuri P. Ivanenko,Francesco Lacquaniti +5 more
TL;DR: The results are in accord with the theory that motor responses evoked by visual kinematics are modulated by a prior of the target dynamics, and the prior appears surprisingly resistant to modifications based on performance errors.

Boone Rt,Joseph G. Cunningham +1 more
TL;DR: The authors investigated the general ability to decode happiness, sadness, anger, and fear in dance forms of expressive body movement and the specific ability to detect differences in the intensity of anger and happiness when the relative amount of movement cue specifying each emotion was systematically varied.

Trait Impressions as Overgeneralized Responses to Adaptively Significant Facial Qualities: Evidence from Connectionist Modeling
TL;DR: Comparisons of normal adult faces to anomalous faces or babies 'faces contribute to impressions of them quite apart from knowledge of overlapping social stereotypes, which is presumed to produce a strong response preparedness that is overgeneralized to faces resembling the unfit or babies.
