Dear all,
The CEU Department of Cognitive Science invites you to the following talk:
Valeria Giardino<https://sites.google.com/view/valeriagiardino/home> (Institut Jean
Nicod, Paris)
Diagramming and the use of cognitive artifacts to enhance reasoning
Abstract :
In my talk, I will introduce what I call "diagramming", that is, the capacity
for coordinating among several systems that have been developed in our relationship with
the environment, such as perception, action and conceptual knowledge, to the aim of
solving a cognitive problem. In my view, such a capacity is the condition for the creation
and the use of external cognitive artefacts enhancing our reasoning capacities. I will try
to reply to some open questions, on the crucial contribution of spatial cognition in this
context, and on the cognitive processes by which some external artifacts may have an
influence on conceptualization.
