Three blind men were exploring an elephant. The first of them, who happened to reach the
leg, described the elephant as something like a tree trunk—high and of cylindrical shape …

AI and psychological approaches to context are contrasted and the dynamic and automatic
nature of the continuous context change in human cognition is emphasized. A dynamic …

In this paper we illustrate the potential of process algebra to implement modular mental
architectures of wide scope in which control is distributed rather than centralised. Drawing …

This paper presents a computer simulation of context effects on problem solving with AMBR—
a model of human analogy-making. It demonstrates how perceiving some incidental objects …

We know that misinformation presented in interrogating questions or in advertising produces
blendings, that even imagining a possible episode might produce blending as well …

This chapter outlines an approach to building robots with anticipatory behavior based on
analogies with past episodes. Anticipatory mechanisms are used to make predictions about …

This paper presents an attempt to establish a previously unknown phenomenon: blending of
dissimilar episodes in long-term memory. In contrast with previous work which demonstrates …

We present AKIRA, an agent-based hybrid architecture designed for cognitive modeling. We
describe some of the underlying ideas motivating its development, such as the possibility of …

This paper further explores the influence that anxiety has on the analogy-making process. A
psychological experiment is described that requires participants to generate analogies to a …

A new approach to building robots with anticipatory behavior is presented. This approach is
based on analogy with a single episode from the past experience of the robot. The AMBR …
