Sentence examples for perceptual simulations from inspiring English sources

Hence, generalizing results concerning the use of perceptual simulations in some tasks to all tasks, which is required for a general modal theory of representation, is problematic.

Thus, not only do cognitive and perceptual mechanisms share representational states, but cognitive processing essentially re-activates sensorimotor areas to run perceptual simulations.

Such experiences might include contrasting cases (Kurtz, Miao, & Gentner, 2001), "inventing" the solution (Schwartz, Chase, Oppezzo, & Chin, 2011; Schwartz & Martin, 2004), or mental or perceptual simulations (Goldstone, Landy, & Son, 2010; Wells & Gavanski, 1989).

The final paper in this special issue is on "Real-time perceptual simulation of moving sources: application to the Leslie cabinet and 3D sound immersion" by R. Kronland-Martinet and T. Voinier.

Hostetter and Alibali's (2008) Theory of Gestures as Simulated Action suggests that gestures emerge from perceptual and motor simulations that underlie embodied language and mental imagery.

Embodied or grounded cognition posits that cognition is "grounded" within the sensory modalities, bodily states, and actions and so engages perceptual and action simulations (Barsalou, 2008, 2010).

In the 5 years since the group was founded, the Waterloo group has advanced the theoretical framework considerably by constructing simulations of perceptual, motor, and cognitive systems.

In fact, the demands of some spatial tasks may more readily activate offline simulation of perceptual and motor states (e.g., imagining an object moving through space, imagining positioning oneself at different vantage points around an object) than others (e.g., employing the formalisms of the Cartesian plane to characterize the velocity of an object).

From this it follows that our model simulations predict a perceptual hysteresis effect for discrimination between opaque-transparent and transparent-opaque transitions induced by a top-down feedback mechanism.

Barsalou holds that the neural basis of his perceptual symbols is a neural "simulation" of the brain processes that would be involved in the actual perception of whatever it is that is being symbolized.

How applicable driving simulation is to the real world is unclear however, because analyses of perceptual criteria carried out in driving simulation experiments are controversial.
