This chapter surveys the use of logic and computational complexity theory in cognitive
science. We emphasize in particular the role played by logic in bridging the gaps between …

This chapter presents an overview of different approaches to the challenge of
accommodating plurals and collectivity in formal semantics. It concentrates on plurals in …

This paper proposes a novel, cognitively motivated theory of natural language quantification
and presents experimental evidence for it. Taking into account recent findings from number …

Although plenty of techniques such as link prediction, clustering, and position analysis have
been proposed to analyze social and economic networks and patterns of social and …

The paper is concerned with the psychological relevance of a logical model for deductive
reasoning. We propose a new way to analyze logical reasoning in a deductive version of the …

The paper explores the relationship between intelligence and the semantic processing of
natural language quantifiers. The first study revealed that intelligence is positively …

The paper explores the cognitive mechanisms involved in the verification of sentences with
proportional quantifiers (eg “More than half of the dots are blue”). The first study shows that …

We argue that a comprehensive theory of reciprocals must rely on a general taxonomy of
restrictions on the interpretation of relational expressions. Developing such a taxonomy, we …

In this paper we study if semantic complexity can influence the distribution of generalized
quantifiers in a large English corpus derived from Wikipedia. We consider the minimal …

The semantic automata framework, developed originally in the 1980s, provides
computational interpretations of generalized quantifiers. While recent experimental results …
