Are humans good intuitive statisticians after all (1996, background): “This is because many families of important adaptive problem can be solved more efficiently by cognitive mechanisms that were specially tailored to meet the particular task demands characteristic of that problem-type (e.g., vision (Marr, 1982; Ramachadran, 1990); language acquisition (Pinker & Bloom,”
The Immersed Experiencer: Toward An Embodied Theory Of Language Comprehension (2003, background): “It should be noted that these representations may be dynamic (Freyd, 1987), if the corresponding experiential trace is dynamic, e.”
Representing and anticipating human actions in vision (2002, methodology): “Implied motion has been used in the “representational momentum” paradigm (Freyd, 1987; Freyd & Finke, 1984; Verfaillie & d’Ydewalle, 1991) and in the “frozen-action” paradigm (Freyd, 1983).”
Simulation, situated conceptualization, and prediction (2009, background): “As they view the actual trajectory, they simultaneously simulate the object’s future trajectory, predicting where it is likely to move next (e.g. Freyd 1987).”
Visual perception and the statistical properties of natural scenes. (2008, background): “Two popular approaches have been to apply either PCA or independent components analysis (ICA) to a collection of patches sampled from natural images (for another approach, see Lee et al. 2003).”
The Theory of Event Coding (TEC): a framework for perception and action planning. (2001, background): “…when people are confronted with traces of handwritten letters, drawings, or body movements they are often capable of inferring the kinematics or even the dynamics of the movements by which these traces were generated (Babcock & Freyd 1988; Freyd 1987; Kandel et al. 1995; Runeson & Frykholm 1981).”
The functional neuroanatomy of implicit-motion perception or representational momentum. (2000, unknown): “When this state is unbalanced (as by motion) the position of the represented object appears to be mentally extrapolated, according to how it might behave in nature, and this maintains the equilibrium, or what has been termed ‘spatiotemporal coherence’ [ 4 ].”
Situated simulation in the human conceptual system (2003, background): “Potter, Kroll, Yachzel, Carpenter, and Sherman (1986) showed that replacing words with pictures did not disrupt sentence processing, suggesting that the pictures were integrated effortlessly into a sensory-motor representation of the sentence's meaning (also see Glaser, 1992). Gibbs (1994) reviews f”
Moving words: dynamic representations in language comprehension (2004, background): “There currently exists no unified theoretical explanation for findings such as these (Thornton & Hubbard, 2002), but the evidence is commonly interpreted as supporting the notion of dynamic mental representations (e.g., Freyd, 1987; Wallis & Bulthoff, 1999).”
