He has a nice idea - "cognits" "One novel idea that Fuster has is of the "Cognit:" a generic term for any representation of knowledge in the cerebral cortex. As he says, "A cognit is an item of knowledge about the world, the self, or the relations between them. Its network structure is made up of elementary representations of perception or action that have been associated with one another by learning or past experience." http://www.amazon.com/Cortex-Mind-Cognition-Joaquin-Fuster/product-reviews/019530084X/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1

What I take from it is that our brains can't think of, or perceive things without summoning up the actions associated with them. This fits well with Barsalou's theory of concepts as simulators. Anyone know more? ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
