Kelly, M. A.; Arora, Nipun; West, Robert L.; Reitter, David – Cognitive Science, 2020
We demonstrate that the key components of cognitive architectures (declarative and procedural memory) and their key capabilities (learning, memory retrieval, probability judgment, and utility estimation) can be implemented as algebraic operations on vectors and tensors in a high-dimensional space using a distributional semantics model.…

Upala, M. Afzal; Gonce, Lauren O.; Tweney, Ryan D.; Slone, D. Jason – Cognitive Science, 2007
A number of anthropologists have argued that religious concepts are minimally counterintuitive and that this gives them mnemic advantages. This paper addresses the question of why people have the memory architecture that results in such concepts being more memorable than other types of concepts by pointing out the benefits of a memory structure…

Norenzayan, Ara; Atran, Scott; Faulkner, Jason; Schaller, Mark – Cognitive Science, 2006
We hypothesize that cultural narratives such as myths and folktales are more likely to achieve cultural stability if they correspond to a minimally counterintuitive (MCI) cognitive template that includes mostly intuitive concepts combined with a minority of counterintuitive ones. Two studies tested this hypothesis, examining whether this template…

Larkey, Levi B.; Markman, Arthur B. – Cognitive Science, 2005
Similarity underlies fundamental cognitive capabilities such as memory, categorization, decision making, problem solving, and reasoning. Although recent approaches to similarity appreciate the structure of mental representations, they differ in the processes posited to operate over these representations. We present an experiment that…
