Trade Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Third Printng 2002. 268 Pages Indexed. Words, Thoughts, and Theories articulates and defends the "theory theory" of cognitive and semantic development, the idea that infants and young children, like scientists, learn about the world by forming and revising theories, a view of the origins of knowledge and meaning that has broad implications for cognitive science.Gopnik and Meltzoff interweave philosophical arguments and empirical data from their own and other's research. Both the philosophy and the psychology, the arguments and the data, address the same fundamental epistemological question: How do we come to understand the world around us? Recently, the theory theory has led to much interesting research. However, this is the first book to look at the theory in extensive detail and to systematically contrast it with other theories. It is also the first to apply the theory to infancy and early childhood, to use the theory to provide a framework for understanding semantic development, and to demonstrate that language acquisition influences theory change in children.The authors show that children just beginning to talk are engaged in profound restructurings of several domains of knowledge. These restructurings are similar to theory changes in science, and they influence children's early semantic development, since children's cognitive concerns shape and motivate their use of very early words. But, in addition, children pay attention to the language they hear around them and this too reshapes their cognition, and causes them to reorganize their theories.…

Hardback with DJ. I've always regarded Ray Jackendoff as an anti-Chomsky Chomskian. Like Chomsky he believes in innate structure but unlike Chomsky he uses meaning rather than parts of speech to formulate his arguments. He also sits a bit uncomfortably, particularly in chapters 5 and 8, on the fence between philosophical and and psychological linguistics, which does make for good discussion. The language used in the book is not heavily laid with jargon though Jackendoff can be wordy and the level of presentation is aimed at an academic rather than a popular audience. "Languages" consists of 8 essays, some revised just for the book, which argue for the existence of underlying more primitive representations for thought. In chapters 2 and 3 Jackendoff reflects on the idea of concept, expressing his own approach and comparing it to Chomsky, Piaget and Fodor. He regards concepts as partially innate, partially learned and notes analogies of inference in different domains such as in ownership and spatial reasoning. Chapter 4 asks if there is a separate facility for social cognition and if so what are it's features and components. Aspects considered include face recognition, ideas of social structure and the differences between an internal (i-language/i-social) representations and external (e-language/e-social) verbalization; the ideas of transaction, ownership and property rights are considered - the transmission of ideas taken as a special case as transferring an idea does not entail loss of ownership by the giver. Chapter6 "Spatial Language and Spatial Cognition" is a comprehensive look at the limited number of English terms referring to the placement and orientation of objects and finds that with some differences other languages have more or less the same descriptive power. The completeness allowed by the small number of words makes this analysis more into a scientific analysis than philosophic discussion. There is a mismatch between language's ability to describe and visual cognition suggesting that different representations are at play. Chapter 7 "Musical Parsing and Musical Affect" promised to do the same for music. Alas, I'm a bit of an illiterate when it comes to recognizing and labeling musical patterns. I found the theorizing about internal musical parsers interesting but I didn't follow all of the specific examples - one of my limitations and your mileage may vary. Jackendoff is one of the great lights of modern linguistics. Readers should find that this book to be a reasonable exposure to his ideas. He also makes frequent references to Miller & Johnson-Laird's 1976 classic Language and Perception, a favorite of mine, which treated the ontology of language as a systematic program of observation and categorization rather than a series of anecdotes to support a theory of mind.…

In exploring the nature of psychological explanation, this book looks at how psychologists theorize about the human ability to calculate, to speak a language and the like. It shows how good theorizing explains or tries to explain such abilities as perception and cognition. It recasts the familiar explanations of "intelligence" and "cognitive capacity" as put forward by philosophers such as Fodor, Dennett, and others in terms of a theory of explanation that makes established doctrine more intelligible to professionals and their students.
