A novel cognitive theory of semantics that proposes that the meanings of words can be
described in terms of geometric structures. In The Geometry of Meaning, Peter Gärdenfors …

We propose an event‐based account of the cognitive and linguistic representation of time
and temporal relations. Human beings differ from nonhuman animals in entertaining and …

It is widely thought that causal cognition underpins technical reasoning. Here we suggest
that understanding causal cognition as a thinking system that includes theory of mind (ie …

Which types of nerve cell circuits enable humans to use and understand meaningful signs
and words? Philosophers were the first to point out that the arbitrary links between signs and …

Here we explore variation and similarities in the two best-represented population groups
who lived during the Middle Stone Age and Middle Palaeolithic—the Neanderthals and …

According to a recent proposal, natural concepts are represented in an optimally designed
similarity space, adhering to principles a skilled engineer would use for creatures with our …

With this contribution we analyze ancient hunting technologies as one way to explore the
development of causal cognition in the hominin lineage. Building on earlier work, we …

We suggest a seven-grade model for the evolution of causal cognition as a framework that
can be used to gauge variation in the complexity of causal reasoning from the panin …

The aim of this paper is to integrate spatial cognition with lexical semantics. We develop
cognitive models of actions and events based on conceptual spaces and vectors on them …

Whereas the validity of deductive inferences can be characterized in terms of their logical
form, this is not true for all inferences that appear pre-theoretically valid. Nonetheless …
