SUMMARY:Sensorimotor Representations and Concepts: A Two-day Workshop
UID:20260610T165013Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-bd7db559-gt5qm
TZID:Europe/Berlin
LOCATION:Düsseldorf\, Germany
DESCRIPTION:<p>Traditionally\, cognitive scientists argued for a view of the mind in which&nbsp\;perception\, cognition and action were seen as distinct (classical sandwich).&nbsp\;Recently\, this view of the human mind has been questioned and a call for&nbsp\;renegotiation of the relations between input\, central processing and output&nbsp\;systems of the mind has been put forth. In particular\, proponents of&nbsp\;&lsquo\;embodiment&rsquo\; argue that the human body plays a crucial role in cognition\,&nbsp\;while proponents of &lsquo\;grounded cognition&rsquo\; argue that cognition is ultimately&nbsp\;analyzable into sensorimotor representations.</p>\n\n<p>The focus of this two-day workshop will be on theoretical questions related&nbsp\;to the &lsquo\;grounding cognition thesis&rsquo\; and the implications stemming from the&nbsp\;claim that sensorimotor representations play a crucial role in cognition. An&nbsp\;attempt will be made to address\, amongst others\, the following issues:&nbsp\;</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Are sensorimotor representations\, and therefore our abilities to perceive&nbsp\;and to move\, necessary conditions for cognition?</li>\n<li>Are sensorimotor representations sufficient for cognition\, or a further\,&nbsp\;possibly amodal code is required?</li>\n<li>Does conceptual thought always have a sensorimotor counterpart? Do&nbsp\;sensorimotor representations play the role of a mere starting point for&nbsp\;cognition\, after which the latter becomes independent?</li>\n<li>Do impairments in sensorimotor abilities entail impairments in cognitive&nbsp\;abilities? If so\, does the reverse relation hold?</li>\n<li>Does cognition influence sensorimotor perception\, (top-down effects on&nbsp\;perception)?</li>\n</ul>\n<p>List of Contributors:</p>\n<p>Wolfgang Prinz<br>Pierre Jacob<br>Corrado Sinigaglia<br>Dan Weisskopf<br>Nivedita Gangopadhyay<br>Jennifer Cook<br>Byron Kaldis<br>Gottfried Vosgerau<br>Alex Tillas<br><br>Participation is free.
