Where redescriptions come from

TL;DR: This paper investigated the spelling development of young deaf children in the context of an integrated process writing classroom and found that deaf children are creatively manipulating the cognitive artifacts society has put at their disposal to reanalyze and redefine their own linguistic systems, to bring them in line with the system that spawned these tools.

TL;DR: This article conducted an integrative review of the research literature on the writing development, writing instruction, and writing assessment of young deaf children ages 3 to 8 years (or preschool through third grade) published between 1990 and 2012.

TL;DR: It is questioned whether Karmiloff-Smith's criticisms of modularity hit the target and how much better the representational redescription model is and whether “the mystery of the cognitive clock” is problematic for her account.

TL;DR: A proposal along these lines first described by Jordan (1986) which involves the use of recurrent links in order to provide networks with a dynamic memory and suggests a method for representing lexical categories and the type/token distinction is developed.

Abstract: This monograph synthesizes current information from the various fields of cognitive science in support of a new theory of mind. Most psychologists study horizontal processes like memory. Fodor postulates a vertical and modular psychological organization underlying biologically coherent behaviours. This view of mental architecture is consistent with the historical tradition of faculty psychology while integrating a computational approach to mental processes. One of the most notable aspects of Fodor’s work is that it articulates features not only of speculative cognitive architecture but also of current research in artificial intelligence. – Part I. Four accounts of mental structure; – Part II. A functional taxonomy of cognitive mechanisms; – Part III. Input systems as modules; – Part IV. Central systems; – Part V. Caveats and conclusions. M.-M. V.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an EPISODIC/SEMANTIC DISTINCTION and a general overview of the ECPHORY system in a general framework.
