These include diagrams, graphs, charts, textual forms such as lists and notations, maps, tables, pictures etc. We focus upon the kinds of ERs that are used in reasoning and problem solving. Twenty-eight subjects were given an untimed card-sorting task. Cluster analysis of the cardsort data revealed that the cards were classified into 9 major categories of ER - maps, set diagrams, logic/math notations, tables & graphs, lists, music, pictures of objects and scientific diagrams. The card sorts of two sub-groups of subjects were compared. The first group was selected on the basis of skilled (upper quartile) performance on ER reasoning tasks and the second was a group of subjects who performed in the lower quartile on ER reasoning tasks. The card-sort behaviour of the better performing subjects differed from that of their poorer performing peers in that they had fewer but more distinct categories. Their ER naming accuracy was also significantly better. The upper-quartile subjects tended to use structural characteristics and ER semantics as a basis for classifying representations to a greater extent than their lower-quartile peers. The results are discussed in relation to theories of category formation and the graphic-linguistic distinction.","PeriodicalId":143899,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of EuroCogSci 03","volume":"354 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122177571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wachsmuth","doi":"10.4324/9781315782362-6","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4324/9781315782362-6","url":null,"abstract":"Cognition arose in living organisms, in nature it is inseparable from a body, and only makes sense in a body. Likewise, natural communication and human language developed in intimate connection with body. When a person speaks, not only symbols are transmitted, but the whole body is in continuous motion. While speaking we can indicate the size and shape of an object by a few handstrokes, direct attention to a referenced object by pointing or gaze, and modify what we communicate by emotional facial expression. The meanings we transmit this way are multimodally encoded and strongly situated in the present context. Embodied communication is the term meant to refer to such, often spontaneous, behavioral phenomena. Over and above symbolic communication they may convey meanings in a form which is not part of a conventionalized code but nevertheless understandable. An iconic gesture, like the one illustrated in Fig. 1, can serve to represent and communicate a mental image in an embodied form (McNeill, 1992). Such a gestural sign obtains meaning by iconicity, i.e. a pictorial similarity between itself and its imagined referent. An emotional expression communicates an emotional state which in its subtlety can hardly be conveyed by symbols but enhances the representational power of symbolizations. Communication models that emphasize symbolic information transfer neglect the decisive role of non-symbolic qualities which are especially present in face-to-face communication. The cognitive modeling challenge is to devise theoretically grounded and empirically guided operational models that specify how mental processes and embodiment work together in communication.","PeriodicalId":143899,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of EuroCogSci 03","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123508354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
