  • applying service oriented architecture into an augmented reality e business System
    International Conference on e-Business Engineering, 2008
    Co-Authors: Rui Wang, Xiangyu Wang
    Abstract:

    This paper introduces a computer-mediated e-business System, named ARF-Shop (augmented reality supported furniture shop), which combines augmented reality (AR) and web-services technologies. Service-oriented architecture (SOA) has been applied into this System. The paper presents how the SOA is used as a tool to design and analyze the Conceptual System framework and further guide the design of the System software framework. Function of each tier in the framework and techniques which may be adopted has been discussed as well.

  • Cognitive and Neural Contributions to Understanding the Conceptual System
    Current Directions in Psychological Science, 2008
    Co-Authors: Lawrence W Barsalou
    Abstract:

    The Conceptual System contains categorical knowledge about experience that supports the spectrum of cognitive processes. Cognitive science theories assume that categorical knowledge resides in a modular and amodal semantic memory, whereas neuroscience theories assume that categorical knowledge is grounded in the brain's modal Systems for perception, action, and affect. Neuroscience has influenced theories of the Conceptual System by stressing principles of neural processing in neural networks and by motivating grounded theories of cognition, which propose that simulations of experience represent knowledge. Cognitive science has influenced theories of the Conceptual System by documenting Conceptual phenomena and symbolic operations that must be grounded in the brain. Significant progress in understanding the Conceptual System is most likely to occur if cognitive and neural approaches achieve successful integration.

  • Continuity of the Conceptual System across species
    Trends in cognitive sciences, 2005
    Co-Authors: Lawrence W Barsalou
    Abstract:

    In a recent neuroimaging study of macaque monkeys, Gil-da-Costa and colleagues reported that a distributed circuit of modality-specific properties represents macaques' Conceptual knowledge of social situations. The circuit identified shows striking similarities to analogous circuits in humans that represent Conceptual knowledge. This parallel suggests that a common architecture underlies the Conceptual Systems of different species, although with additional Systems extending human Conceptual abilities significantly.

  • grounding Conceptual knowledge in modality specific Systems
    Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2003
    Co-Authors: Lawrence W Barsalou, Kyle W Simmons, Aron K Barbey, Christine Wilson
    Abstract:

    The human Conceptual System contains knowledge that supports all cognitive activities, including perception, memory, language and thought. According to most current theories, states in modality-specific Systems for perception, action and emotion do not represent knowledge ‐ rather, redescriptions of these states in amodal representational languages do. Increasingly, however, researchers report that re-enactments of states in modality-specific Systems underlie Conceptual processing. In behavioral experiments, perceptual and motor variables consistently produce effects in Conceptual tasks. In brain imaging experiments, Conceptual processing consistently activates modality-specific brain areas. 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. Together these empirical results and theoretical analyses implicate modality-specific Systems in the representation and use of Conceptual knowledge. The human Conceptual System contains people’s knowledge of the world. In most theories, the basic unit of knowledge is the concept. This construct is highly contentious, however (see Box 1).

  • situated simulation in the human Conceptual System
    Language and Cognitive Processes, 2003
    Co-Authors: Lawrence W Barsalou
    Abstract:

    Four theories of the human Conceptual System—semantic memory, exemplar models, feed‐forward connectionist nets, and situated simulation theory—are characterised and contrasted on five dimensions: (1) architecture (modular vs. non‐modular), (2) representation (amodal vs. modal), (3) abstraction (decontextualised vs. situated), (4) stability (stable vs. dynamical), and (5) organisation (taxonomic vs. action–environment interface). Empirical evidence is then reviewed for the situated simulation theory, and the following conclusions are reached. Because the Conceptual System shares mechanisms with perception and action, it is non-modular. As a result, Conceptual representations are multi-modal simulations distributed across modality‐specific Systems. A given simulation for a concept is situated, preparing an agent for situated action with a particular instance, in a particular setting. Because a concept delivers diverse simulations that prepare agents for action in many different situations, it is dynamical. ...

  • FOIS - The human Conceptual System
    Proceedings of the international conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems - FOIS '01, 2001
    Co-Authors: Lawrence W Barsalou
    Abstract:

    The human Conceptual System contains knowledge about the world thatsupports categorical inference, Conceptual combination, and basiccognitive tasks (e.g., perception, memory, language, thought).Standard views of semantic memory typically portray the ConceptualSystem as modular, amodal, static, abstractive, and taxonomic.Recent connectionist accounts are dynamic and contextual but oftenremain modular, amodal, and taxonomic (although not necessarilyso). An alternative view is presented, along with supportingempirical evidence. On this view, the Conceptual System sharesrepresentational mechanisms with sensory-motor Systems, therebymaking it non-modular and modal. Within this framework, simulatorsrepresent a category dynamically by constructing diversesimulations of category instances across occasions (i.e., staticconcepts do not represent categories). To represent a category on agiven occasion, a simulator reenacts a small subset of modalinformation for the category. In addition, these simulationsinclude knowledge about settings, actions, and mental perspectives,thereby contextualizing the category's representations. Finally,Systems of categories are organized to support situated action. Adhoc categories arise at the interface between action sequences andthe world, with taxonomic categories being subsidiary to thisinterface. Behavioral and neural evidence is presented to supportthis view of the Conceptual System.

  • On the spatial foundations of the Conceptual System and its enrichment.
    Cognitive science, 2012
    Co-Authors: Jean M. Mandler
    Abstract:

    A theory of how concept formation begins is presented that accounts for Conceptual activity in the first year of life, shows how increasing Conceptual complexity comes about, and predicts the order in which new types of information accrue to the Conceptual System. In a compromise between nativist and empiricist views, it offers a single domain-general mechanism that redescribes attended spatiotemporal information into an iconic form. The outputs of this mechanism consist of types of spatial information that we know infants attend to in the first months of life. These primitives form the initial basis of concept formation, allow explicit preverbal thought, such as recall, inferences, and simple mental problem solving, and support early language learning. The theory details how spatial concepts become associated with bodily feelings of force and trying. It also explains why concepts of emotions, sensory concepts such as color, and theory of mind concepts are necessarily later acquisitions because they lack contact with spatial descriptions to interpret unstructured internal experiences. Finally, commonalities between the concepts of preverbal infants and nonhuman primates are discussed.

  • The spatial foundations of the Conceptual System
    Language and Cognition, 2010
    Co-Authors: Jean M. Mandler
    Abstract:

    This article proposes that the representation of concepts in infancy is in the form of spatial image-schemas. A mechanism that simplifies spatial information is described along with a small set of spatial primitives that are sufficient to account for the Conceptualizations that preverbal infants use to interpret objects and events. This early System is important to understand because it organizes the adult Conceptual System of objects and events and remains its core. With development, the System becomes enriched by language in several ways, and also by means of analogical extension to nonspatial information. Nonspatial bodily information, such as feelings of force and motor activity, is also added, but remains secondary. It becomes associated with spatial representations, but except for its spatial aspects is represented in a more inchoate and less accessible fashion.

  • On the origins of the Conceptual System.
    The American psychologist, 2007
    Co-Authors: Jean M. Mandler
    Abstract:

    Contrary to the conventional view of infancy as a sensorimotor period without Conceptual thought, research over the past 20 years has shown that preverbal infants are capable of at least 3 Conceptual functions: forming concepts with which to interpret the world, recall of the past, and engaging in Conceptual generalization. Research is described indicating that the 1st concepts tend to be global in scope, such as animal or container, and that the course of Conceptual development in the first 2 years is largely one of differentiating global concepts into more detailed concepts, such as dog or cup. A theory of how the 1st global concepts are formed from spatial information is briefly presented, including (a) a mechanism that redescribes spatial information into simpler but accessible form and (b) the primitives it uses for this purpose. Finally, the way concepts become more complex by means of language and analogical extension to nonspatial information is discussed.
