Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the strictures of the extreme Behaviourists, psychologists have been taking an increasing interest in the development of theories concerning the 'mechanisms' internal to humans and animals which permit perceptual, memory, and problem solving behaviour. One consideration which has enormously stimulated an interest in theories of internal cognitive represen tation has been progress in the theory and the technology of computing machines, which has opened the promising prospect of computer simulation of human and animal psychological functions. What has developed is the possibility of constructing models of human psychology, realizing them in computer hardware, and testing the resultant machine performance against that of the human subject. A second consideration which helps motivate the construction of models of internal representation is the considerable advances in experimental and theoretical knowledge of the human brain understood from the neuro-anatomical view. The likely profit of adopting a narrowly Behaviourist methodology shrinks in the face of our growing, fine-grained knowledge of cerebral 'wetware'. The purpose of this volume is selectively to exhibit some of the proposals concerning theories of internal representation which have been put forward in recent years. The area of central concern is the resurgence of interest in the role of imagery in cognition which has taken place in the last fifteen years.

Download or read book Images and Understanding written by Horace Barlow and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you paint a picture of God, or dance about death, or draw a diagram explaining infinity? Images and Understanding explores the human problem of transferring facts and ideas from one mind to another--the problem of how we see things. We create images, not just in the form of pictures and diagrams, but with words, demonstrations, and even music and dance. The editors present their findings in six sections: the essence of images, movement, narration, making images, images and thought, and images and meaning. Each section begins with an explanatory introduction and is followed by contributions from internationally distinguished figures in fields as diverse as choreography, psychology, computer science, philosophy and art. Images and Understanding arrives at a new perspective on imagery through the eyes of both science and art, and provides new insights about images and new ideas about understanding.

Download or read book Perception and Knowledge written by Walter Hopp and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-07 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a provocative, clear and rigorously argued account of the nature of perception and its role in the production of knowledge. Walter Hopp argues that perceptual experiences do not have conceptual content, and that what makes them play a distinctive epistemic role is not the features which they share with beliefs, but something that in fact sets them radically apart. He explains that the reason-giving relation between experiences and beliefs is what Edmund Husserl called 'fulfilment' - in which we find something to be as we think it to be. His book covers a wide range of central topics in contemporary philosophy of mind, epistemology and traditional phenomenology. It is essential reading for contemporary analytic philosophers of mind and phenomenologists alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the 2011 Aquinas Lecture delivered by John McDowell on February 27, 2011 at Marquette University. A central theme in much of Professor McDowell's work is the harmful effect, in modern philosophy and in the modern reception of pre-modern philosophy, of a conception of nature that reflects an understanding, in itself perfectly correct, of the proper goals of the natural sciences. He has argued that we can free ourselves from the characteristic sorts of philosophical anxiety by recalling the possibility of a less restrictive conception of what it takes for something to be natural.

Download or read book Understanding Events written by Thomas F. Shipley and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-02-25 with total page 733 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We effortlessly recognize all sorts of events--from simple events like people walking to complex events like leaves blowing in the wind. We can also remember and describe these events, and in general, react appropriately to them, for example, in avoiding an approaching object. Our phenomenal ease interacting with events belies the complexity of the underlying processes we use to deal with them. Driven by an interest in these complex processes, research on event perception has been growing rapidly. Events are the basis of all experience, so understanding how humans perceive, represent, and act on them will have a significant impact on many areas of psychology. Unfortunately, much of the research on event perception--in visual perception, motor control, linguistics, and computer science--has progressed without much interaction. This volume is the first to bring together computational, neurological, and psychological research on how humans detect, classify, remember, and act on events. The book will provide professional and student researchers with a comprehensive collection of the latest research in these diverse fields.
Download or read book Images and Understanding written by Rank Prize Funds' International Symposium and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you paint a picture of infinity? How do you dance about death? How do you draw a diagram explaining entropy? Images and Understanding explores the human problem of moving facts and ideas from one mind to another - the problems of how we see and communicate using images expressed in pictures, diagrams, words, music and dance. For artists as well as scientists discussion of this topic is timely; electronic and computing technology is expanding the means of generating and communicating images, while physiology and psychology are revealing the neural mechanisms of coding, perceiving and understanding them. The book is divided into six sections, each with an explanatory introduction followed by comprehensively illustrated contributions from internationally distinguished figures from fields as diverse as art history, choreography, psychology, computer science, and philosophy. Images and Understanding is unique in viewing the problems of imagery through the eyes of both science and art; it gives new insight into images and new ideas about understanding.
Download or read book Images written by John V. Kulvicki and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nature of representation is a central topic in philosophy. This is the first book to connect problems with understanding representational artifacts, like pictures, diagrams, and inscriptions, to the philosophies of science, mind, and art. Can images be a source of knowledge? Are images merely conventional signs, like words? What is the relationship between the observer and the observed? In this clear and stimulating introduction to the problem John V. Kulvicki explores these questions and more. He discusses: the nature of pictorial experience and "seeing in" recognition, resemblance, pretense, and structural theories of depiction images as aids to scientific discovery and understanding mental imagery and the nature of perceptual content photographs as visual prostheses. In so doing he assesses central problems in the philosophy of images, such as how objects we make come to represent other things, and how we distinguish kinds of representation - pictures, diagrams, graphs - from one another. Essential reading for students and professional philosophers alike, the book also contains chapter summaries, annotated further reading, and a glossary.

Download or read book Learning and Prior Knowledge Shape Cognitive Representations for Complex Images written by Hayden Schill and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through navigating and interacting with the world, we develop knowledge that can be used to help guide future interactions or process similar information more efficiently. For example, as someone proceeds through medical school and residency to become a radiologist, they develop a deep understanding of medical images. This learned knowledge influences several cognitive processes, which allows them to find abnormalities quickly and efficiently. My dissertation examines factors that may drive how prior knowledge in perceptual domains influence cognitive processes such as memory and perception. I use a range of stimuli and methods that mimic real-world scenarios and require significant perceptual prior knowledge. In particular, I use medical imaging and face perception as two unique but strong indices of perceptual expertise. In chapter 1, I establish that radiologists have enhanced memory for abnormal compared to normal mammograms. I show evidence that this memory benefit appears to be driven by a unique role of distinctiveness, which emerges with significant prior knowledge in the expert's domain. In chapter 2, I demonstrate that additional knowledge of an abnormality in a medical image not only shapes memory but also enhances experts' perception of medical images themselves, a form of bias called visual hindsight bias. In chapter 3, I examine the impact of occlusions and feature learning on our ability to extract summary statistics of complex facial information. Overall, I highlight how learned knowledge shapes a range of cognitive processes including memory, visual perception, and ensemble perception, and touch on several avenues for future direction.
Download or read book The Role of Imagery in Learning written by Harry S. Broudy and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 1987 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph sets forth a theoretical basis for advocating a program of disciplinary arts education as an integral part of general education from kindergarten through grade 12. The title, "The Role of Imagery in Learning," indicates the centrality of aesthetic perception of images. To make the case, it is necessary to show by analysis, argument, and example the role that images in general and those portrayed in the arts in particular play in: (1) everyday experience and (2) the formation of the educated mind. The roles of imagery in the learning of skills (especially the skills of language), concepts, attitudes, and values are examined to identify points at which the sensory image becomes crucial for understanding. Throughout the essay runs a thread that might be called "the uses of knowledge or schooling." The argument holds that the arts as learned in general education are used associatively and interpretively, rather that replicatively or applicatively. Their function is to enrich the allusionary base, the store of images, and concepts that qualify for inclusion in general education. Although this is not discussed in detail, the theory implies that discipline-based arts education as part of general education must be teachable by the classroom teacher with the same degree of competence demanded by the teaching of other required subjects. This requirement raises the question as to whether classroom teachers can achieve this and calls for a method of preservice and in-service training that would enable them to do so. (Author/AA)
