Module 13 Flashcards
form for what you know in your mind about things, ideas, events, and so on, in thhe outside world.
KNOWLEDGE REPRESENTATION
Refers to facts that can be stated, such as the date of your birth, the name of your best friend, or the way a rabbit looks.
DECLARATIVE KNOWLEDGE
Refers to the knowledge of procedures that can be implemented.
PROCEDURAL KNOWLEDGE
Two main source of empirical dataon knowledge representation:
(1) Standard laboratory Experiments
(2) Neuropsychological studies
What representation best explains that the meaning of the relationship between the word and what it represents is simply arbitrary.
SYMBOLIC REPRESENTATION
Mental representation of things ghat are not currently seen or sensed by the sense organs.
IMAGERY
This theory use both pictorial and verbal codes for representing information in our minds. These two codes organize information into knowledge that can be acted on, stored somehow, and later retrived for subsequent use.
DUAL-CODE THEORY
Resemble the objects they are representing. Just as the movements of the hands on an analog clock are analogous to the passage of time, tge mental images we form into our minds are analogous to the physical stimuli we observe.
ANALOG CODES
form of knowledge representation that has been chosen arbitrarily to stand for something that does not perceptually resemble what is being represented.
SYMBOLIC CODE
This theory suggests that we do not store mental representations in the form of images or mere words.
PROPOSITIONAL THEORY
Maybe used to describe any kind of relationship.
USING PROPOSITION
Provides an interesting example of the similarities between perception and imagery. Many people who suffer from this experience auditory hallucinations.
SCHIZOPHRENIA
Mental images can be rotated just like physical objects. We can also zoom into mental images to see more details of a specific area, or we can scan across an image from one point to another.
MENTAL ROTATIONS
a person asked to imagine a scene and then describe it ignores half of the imagined scene.
