Subject: Mind and Society
Humanists with an interest in modelling will be interested in the journal
Mind and Society: a Journal of Cognitive and Epistemological Studies on
Economics and Social Sciences, published by the Fondazione Rosselli
(Torino, http://www.fondazionerosselli.it/). My attention was called to the
journal by volume 2, number 4 (2001), specifically by the section on
"Commonsense and Scientific Reasoning". I pass along the table of contents
here:
>Section on Commonsense and Scientific Reasoning
>Preface by L. Magnani and N.J. Nersessian 27
>
>W.F. Brewer, Models in Science and Mental Models in Scientists and
>Nonscientists 31
>This paper examines the form of mental representation of scientific
>theories in scientists, in nonscientists, and in the philosophy of
>science. It argues that mental models and perceptual symbols are
>appropriate forms of mental representation of scientific theories for both
>scientists and nonscientists.
>
>P.H. Miller, Developmental Issues in Model-Based Reasoning during
>Childhood 49
>One approach to understanding model-based reasoning in science is to
>examine how it develops during infancy, childhood, and adolescence. The
>way in which thinking changes sometimes provides clues to its nature. This
>paper examines cognitive developmental aspects of modeling practices and
>discusses how a developmental perspective can enrich the study of
>model-based scientific reasoning in adults.
>
>Z. Marx & I. Dagan, Conceptual Mapping through Keywords Coupled Clustering 59
>We introduce an automated framework coupled clustering for structure
>mapping through identification of corresponding themes in unstructured
>data. The method is demonstrated and evaluated through detecting
>conceptual correspondences in textual corpora. We also preliminary
>demonstrate how it could be utilized for identifying relational
commonalities.
>
>E. Zibetti, V. Quera, C. Tijus, F. Salvador Beltran, Reasoning Based on
>Categorization for Interpreting and Acting:
>A First Approach 87
>ACACIA is a computer model based on Adaptive Behavior and categorization
>principles in order to study how artificial agents might be able to reach
>long term goals without having a predefined and exhaustive a priori action
>plan such as a schema. Reasoning and decision making are conceptualized as
>emerging from goal and environment interaction, according to a contextual
>categorization process.
>
>A.H. Goldman, Moral Reasoning without Rules 105
>This paper defends a requirement of coherence among moral judgments to
>replace the requirement that they be deduced from rules. We must not judge
>cases differently without being able to cite relevant differences between
>them. These must make a difference in other cases, but need not do so in all.
Note also the forthcoming issue, "Scientific Discovery: Model-based
Reasoning", whose table of contents is even more promising.
Yours,
