Concept Formation

Journal of Russian & East European Psychology, 1995
Current Russian psychology is understood in the sense of the Vygotskian tradition and Gal'perin's position. The central concepts in this tradition are the activity of a subject and his or her social-cultural interactions with the environment.

Joint concept formation

Knowledge Acquisition, 1994
Abstract Many concept formation systems construct disjoint-concept trees. However, a priori imposed tree structures may restrict the application of these systems in some domains. A joint concept formation scheme is thus proposed, which learns from observation, and constructs acyclic directed concept graphs (trees are a special case). We show that the

Concept Formation in Chimpanzees

Science, 1958
Animals performed with a high degree of accuracy on two concept problems. The bases of these performances, however, differed qualitatively. In one problem, successful performance was based upon responding to specific stimulus patterns. In the other problem, successful performance was based upon responding to the common element or concept.

Concept formation in design

Knowledge-Based Systems, 1998
Abstract This paper presents a computationally tractable view on where simple design concepts come from by proposing a paradigm for the formation of design concepts based on the emergence of patterns in the representation of designs. It is suggested that these design patterns form the basis of concepts.

Concepts and Concept-Formation

2010
One feature of Wittgenstein’s manuscripts of the 1940s that will strike the reader is the fact that the notion of a concept is nowhere in his writings examined with more intensity and frequency than in his later manuscripts on the philosophy of mathematics and in those on the philosophy of psychology.

FOCUSED CONCEPT FORMATION

1989
Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the incremental concept formation systems COBWEB (Fisher, 1987) and CLASSIT (Gennari, Langley L. Fisher), and also CLASSIT-2. For COBWEB and CLASSIT, recognition of an instance occurred when all available attributes were used to classify the instance into some category. A better approach would be to recognize an

Demand-driven concept formation

1994
Most existing work on concept formation (e.g., conceptual clustering) has focused on the formation of concepts for classification purposes, resulting in an emphasis on producing sets of concepts that are complete, i.e., cover all observed instances.

The Psychology of Concepts and Concept Formation

1994
In the preceding chapter, we saw that the design of a representation system requires choices on two different levels. First, there is the level of representation formalism, i.e., the choice of syntax and semantics for the representation. Then, there is the equally important choice of a representation language, i.e., the vocabulary to be made available ...

Concept formation

2018
Abstract Concept formation is inescapable because social scientists cannot study political reality without making tacit assumptions about the basic relevant concepts. An anti-naturalist approach offers a distinctive form of concept formation, one that avoids naturalist distortions like essentialism, reification, and instrumentalism.
