Is Experience Stored in the Brain? A Current Model of Memory and the Temporal Metaphysic of Bergson
In discussion on consciousness and the hard problem, there is an unquestioned background assumption, namely, our experience is stored in the brain. Yet Bergson (in: Matter and memory. Zone Books, New…
SIX Learning structured representations from experience
How a system represents information tightly constrains the kinds of problems it can solve. Humans routinely solve problems that appear to require structured representations of stimulus properties and…
Does the mental lexicon exist ? O léxico mental existe ?
One of the central and most intriguing components of language processing to researchers is the mental lexicon. The term was used for the first time by Ann Triesman in 1961 and we still do not have…
From Implausible Artificial Neurons to Idealized Cognitive Models: Rebooting Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence
There is a vast literature within philosophy of mind that focuses on artificial intelligence but hardly mentions methodological questions. There is also a growing body of work in philosophy of…
An Inferential Phonological Connectionist Approach to the perception of Assimilated-English Connected Speech
This research is an attempt to investigate the perceptual system processing of English connected speech. More specifically, it attempts to offer an experimental study to show the impact of the…
Learning without neurons in physical systems
TLDR
This work reviews recent work in the emerging field of physical learning, describing theoretical and experimental advances in areas ranging from molecular self-assembly to flow networks and mechanical materials.
Lexical Substitution and Paraphasia in Advanced Dementia of the Alzheimer Type
Abstract The paper presents the case study of lexical selection in Alzheimer-type dementia. Lexical substitutions in poem recitation and conversations of a Russian speaker, who suffered…
Inferring consistent functional interaction patterns from natural stimulus FMRI data
Interpreting developmental changes in neuroimaging signals
TLDR
It is argued that the appeal to developmental neurobiology is often misplaced, and the concept of “normative” development needs to be reexamined, as it reflects fundamental value judgments about brain development that seem inappropriate for scientific investigation.
Context and meter enhance long-range planning in music performance
TLDR
Serial ordering errors were measured as skilled pianists performed musical pieces that contained excerpts embedded in long or short musical contexts, consistent with the notion that neural oscillations at multiple periodicities may strengthen metrical associations across sequence events during planning.

Semantic Cognition: A Parallel Distributed Processing Approach
TLDR
The authors propose that performance in semantic tasks arises through the propagation of graded signals in a system of interconnected processing units, and show how a simple computational model proposed by Rumelhart exhibits a progressive differentiation of conceptual knowledge, paralleling aspects of cognitive development seen in the work of Frank Keil and Jean Mandler.
Finding Structure in Time
TLDR
A proposal along these lines first described by Jordan (1986) which involves the use of recurrent links in order to provide networks with a dynamic memory and suggests a method for representing lexical categories and the type/token distinction is developed.

TLDR
Artificial neural network research began in the early 1940s, advancing in fits and starts, until the late 1960s when Minsky and Papert published Perceptrons, in which they proved that neural networks, as then conceived, can be proved.
Learning the structure of event sequences.
TLDR
A connectionist model that incorporates sensitivity to the sequential structure and to priming effects is shown to capture key aspects of both acquisition and processing and to account for the interaction between attention and sequence structure reported by Cohen, Ivry, and Keele (1990).
The distinct modes of vision offered by feedforward and recurrent processing
On the Computational Utility of Consciousness
TLDR
The authors' simulations show that periodic settling to conscious states improves performance by cleaning up inaccuracies and noise, forcing decisions, and helping keep the system on track toward a solution.
