2. 1. Information Integration in Perception and Cognition : Exploring the Perception-Cognition Gap

   Author : Elina Stengård; Ronald van den Berg; Adam Sanborn; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Perception; Cognition; Information integration; Judgment; Computational modeling; Bayesian inference; Psychology; Psykologi;

   Abstract : Much research in both perceptual inference and cognitive inference has focused on how well human performance fares against what is considered the most optimal or rational thing to do. The verdict, however, differs between the fields. READ MORE

4. 2. Contours of Cognition

   Author : Trond A. Tjøstheim; Kognitiv modellering; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; computational; cognitive; neuroscience; perception; memory; spatial cognition; trust; pupil dynamics; reflection; thinking; intelligence; reinforcement learning; foraging; allostasis; decision making;

   Abstract : This thesis concerns the nature of cognition. It posits that cognitive processes primarily are means to maintain allostasis in organisms whose ecological niches require movement to approach food-resources and avoid predation. READ MORE

5. 3. Cognition reversed : Robot learning from demonstration

   Author : Erik Billing; Lars Erik Janlert; Thomas Hellström; Tom Ziemke; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer science; Datavetenskap; Cognitive science; Kognitionsvetenskap; computer and systems sciences; data- och systemvetenskap;

   Abstract : The work presented in this thesis investigates techniques for learning from demonstration (LFD). LFD is a well established approach to robot learning, where a teacher demonstrates a behavior to a robot pupil. This thesis focuses on LFD where a human teacher demonstrates a behavior by controlling the robot via teleoperation. READ MORE

6. 4. The puzzle of social activity : the significance of tools in cognition and cooperation

   Author : Tarja Susi; Tom Ziemke; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cognition science; social interactions; subject-object relationship; human-computer; Cognitive science; Kognitionsvetenskap;

   Abstract : This dissertation addresses the role of tools in social interactions, or more precisely the significance of tools in cognition and cooperation, from a situated cognition perspective. While mainstream cognitive science focuses on the internal symbolic representations and computational thought processes inside the heads of individuals, situated cognition approaches instead emphasise the central role of the interaction between agents and their material and social environment.

7. 5. Minding the Body : Interacting socially through embodied action

   Author : Jessica Lindblom; Tom Ziemke; Shaun Gallagher; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Embodiment; embodied cognition; embodied cognitive science; social interaction; social cognition; embodied action; interactive technology; Cognitive science; Kognitionsvetenskap;

   Abstract : This dissertation clarifies the role and relevance of the body in social interaction and cognition from an embodied cognitive science perspective. Theories of embodied cognition have during the past two decades offered a radical shift in explanations of the human mind, from traditional computationalism which considers cognition in terms of internal symbolic representations and computational processes, to emphasizing the way cognition is shaped by the body and its sensorimotor interaction with the surrounding social and material world.
