Elizabeth Spelke - Modularity Reconsidered: Core Cognition and Formal Mathematics

02/20 - 06:01pm — Anonymous
Time: 
Thu, Mar 7, 2013 - 4:00pm - 5:00pm
Place: 
43 Vassar Street, Cambridge, MA 02139, MIT 46-3002

Abstract:

Thirty years ago, MIT's Jerry Fodor argued that the human mind is a mystery surrounded by modules.Each cognitive module is specific to a particular content domain and is innate, early emerging, localizeable in the brain, limited with respect to the inputs on which it operates, automatic in its operation, and opaque to conscious

The current consensus version of the neural basis of vision -- or of cognition in general -- makes it difficult to model some of the central operations to be performed during perception and learning. I will offer the dynamic link architecture as alternative physical basis of cognitive processes, will discuss it as natural framework for vision and other cognitive processes and will illustrate and support the argument with the help of a concrete model of invariant object recognition.
