What is the nature of representational content? Can a naturalistic theory or account be given of the content of mental representations? This conference will take stock of the new wave of work on that issue. There will be a particular focus on some of the simpler systems whose operation has been well-characterised by psychology and cognitive neuroscience. Topics to be addressed include:
- What role if any do functions play in fixing representational content?
- How should such functions be characterised?
- What is the role of ‘exploitable relations’ in fixing content?
- What makes something a cognitive map?
- What is it for an organism or system to make use of a cognitive map?
