I'm looking at
approaches to the acquistion/construction/development/use of 'concepts'. I'm
interested in this happening at undergrad level, but most work is concerned with
child development. I've seen -
Vygotsky 'Thought and Language' -
'everyday' concepts and 'scientific concepts'
Piaget
and Inhelder 'Early Growth of Logic'
Eleanor Rosch - see http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/Hypermail/Foundations.Cognition/0058.html
Lakoff
- metaphorical approach
Hutchins - Distributed Cognition
Fauconnier and Turner - conceptual blends.
Any other major lines I should look
at?
