Action Science
An overview of today's diverse theoretical and methodological approaches to action and the relationship of action and cognition. The emerging field of action science is characterized by a diversity of theoretical and methodological approaches that share the basic functional belief that evolution has optimized cognitive systems to serve the demands of action. This book brings together the constitutive approaches of action science in a single source, covering the relation of action to such cognitive functions as perception, attention, memory, and volition. Each chapter offers a tutorial-like description of a major line of inquiry, written by a leading scientist in the field. Taken together, th...
Cognitive Robotics
The current state of the art in cognitive robotics, covering the challenges of building AI-powered intelligent robots inspired by natural cognitive systems. A novel approach to building AI-powered intelligent robots takes inspiration from the way natural cognitive systems—in humans, animals, and biological systems—develop intelligence by exploiting the full power of interactions between body and brain, the physical and social environment in which they live, and phylogenetic, developmental, and learning dynamics. This volume reports on the current state of the art in cognitive robotics, offering the first comprehensive coverage of building robots inspired by natural cognitive systems. Con...
Information Design
Information Design provides citizens, business and government with a means of presenting and interacting with complex information. It embraces applications from wayfinding and map reading to forms design; from website and screen layout to instruction. Done well it can communicate across languages and cultures, convey complicated instructions, even change behaviours. Information Design offers an authoritative guide to this important multidisciplinary subject. The book weaves design theory and methods with case studies of professional practice from leading information designers across the world. The heavily illustrated text is rigorous yet readable and offers a single, must-have, reference to anyone interested in information design or any of its related disciplines such as interaction design and information architecture, information graphics, document design, universal design, service design, map-making and wayfinding.
The Value of Emotions for Knowledge
This innovative new volume analyses the role of emotions in knowledge acquisition. It focuses on the field of philosophy of emotions at the exciting intersection between epistemology and philosophy of mind and cognitive science to bring us an in-depth analysis of the epistemological value of emotions in reasoning. With twelve chapters by leading and up-and-coming academics, this edited collection shows that emotions do count for our epistemic enterprise. Against scepticism about the possible positive role emotions play in knowledge, the authors highlight the how and the why of this potential, lucidly exploring the key aspects of the functionality of emotions. This is explored in relation to: specific kinds of knowledge such as self-understanding, group-knowledge and wisdom; specific functions played by certain emotions in these cases, such as disorientation in enquiry and contempt in practical reason; the affective experience of the epistemic subjects and communities.
Conceptual and Interactive Embodiment
This two-volume set provides a comprehensive overview of the multidisciplinary field of Embodied Cognition. With contributions from internationally acknowledged researchers from a variety of fields, Foundations of Embodied Cognition reveals how intelligent behaviour emerges from the interplay between brain, body and environment. Drawing on the most recent theoretical and empirical findings in embodied cognition, Volume 2 Conceptual and Interactive Embodiment is divided into four distinct parts, bringing together a number of influential perspectives and new ideas. Part one introduces the field of embodied language processing, before part two presents recent developments in our understanding o...
Handbook of Embodied Cognition and Sport Psychology
The first systematic collaboration between cognitive scientists and sports psychologists considers the mind–body relationship from the perspective of athletic skill and sports practice. This landmark work is the first systematic collaboration between cognitive scientists and sports psychologists that considers the mind–body relationship from the perspective of athletic skill and sports practice. With twenty-six chapters by leading researchers, the book connects and integrates findings from fields that range from philosophy of mind to sociology of sports. The chapters show not only that sports can tell scientists how the human mind works but also that the scientific study of the human min...
Spracherwerb
Der Spracherwerb ist ein Phänomen, das die Philosophie sowie die Natur- und Geisteswissenschaften zu immer neuen Erklärungsansätzen gebracht hat. Dieser Band charakterisiert die Stadien des Erstspracherwerbs von der Lautentwicklung bis zum Erwerb von Syntax und von diskursiven Fähigkeiten. Weitere Kapitel präsentieren die zentralen Erklärungsmodelle des Spracherwerbs. - Für die dritte Auflage wurde der Band aktualisiert und um neuere Forschungsergebnisse sowie Literaturhinweise erweitert. Jetzt in zweifarbiger Gestaltung.
Handbuch Philosophie des Geistes
Welchen Status haben mentale Zustände, wie bewusste Empfindungen, Wünsche, Überzeugungen oder Emotionen, in einer physikalischen Welt? Lassen sich alle derartigen Zustände auf Hirnzustände reduzieren? Was genau zeichnet mentale Zustände aus, und was können wir über die mentalen Zustände unserer Mitmenschen wissen? Dieses Handbuch liefert einen systematischen Überblick über Positionen und Fragestellungen in der Philosophie des Geistes. Ein zentrales Themengebiet ist dabei das Verhältnis zwischen mentalen Zuständen und Hirnzuständen: physikalistische und nicht-physikalistische Ansätze sowie das Problem der mentalen Verursachung. Darüber hinaus werden Fragestellungen zum Charakter des Mentalen und zu verschiedenen Typen mentaler Zustände in den Blick genommen, etwa die Debatten über Qualia, Intentionalität, Gedächtnis und das Verhältnis zwischen Denken und Sprache. Abgerundet wird das Bild durch Beiträge zum Thema Willensfreiheit, zur empirischen Erforschung mentaler Zustände sowie zu historischen Positionen in der Leib-Seele-Debatte.
Schnittstellenprobleme in Neurowissenschaften und Philosophie
In diesem Buch führt Andreas Schönau neurowissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse und Modelle mit philosophischen Theorien und Konzeptionen der Handlungstheorie aus einer neuartigen Bottom-up-Perspektive zusammen. Damit ermöglicht er einen interdisziplinären Blick auf die Gültigkeit der Bedingungen von Willensfreiheit (Alternativismus, Selbstverursachung, Verantwortung), die hinsichtlich ihres konstitutiven Verhältnisses zu automatisierten und unbewussten Prozessen untersucht werden. Willensfreiheit erweist sich aus dieser Perspektive als ein fähigkeitbasiertes Phänomen und fordert die idealistischen Positionierungen der Philosophie heraus.
Elementos de semiótica agentiva
Se puede decir que la pregunta central de cualquier propuesta semiótica (del estructuralismo europeo a la semeiótica peirceana, del culturalismo lotmaniano al cognitivismo de la Escuela de Árhus) es en qué consiste la significación. Y cada una de ellas, con variaciones de muy diverso grado, ofrece una respuesta a dicha pregunta. En este libro queremos proponer un enfoque alternativo, que hemos denominado "agentivo": aquí la significación se establece -o más precisamente, emerge- en la relación agente-agenda, es decir, la relación entre un ente que hace y el tipo de resultado al que \'apunta\' dicho agente mediante su acción. A partir de esta tesis general. la propuesta agentiva ll...
