{"pk":25694,"title":"Cognitive architecture and second-order systematicity: categorical\ncompositionality and a (co)recursion model of systematic learning","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Systematicity commonly means that having certain cognitive\ncapacities entails having certain other cognitive capacities.\nLearning is a cognitive capacity central to cognitive science,\nbut systematic learning of cognitive capacities—second-order\nsystematicity—has received little investigation. We proposed\nassociative learning as an instance of second-order systematic-\nity that poses a paradox for classical theory, because this form\nof systematicity involves the kinds of associative constructions\nthat were explicitly rejected by the classical explanation. In\nfact, both first and second-order forms of systematicity can\nbe derived from the formal, category-theoretic concept of uni-\nversal morphisms to address this problem. In this paper, we\nderived a model of systematic associative learning based on\n(co)recursion, which is another kind of universal construction.\nThis result increases the extent to which category theory pro-\nvides a foundation for cognitive architecture.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"cognitive architecture; systematicity; composi-\ntionality; learning; category theory; coalgebra"}],"section":"Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2g25n2dg","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Steven","middle_name":"","last_name":"Phillips","name_suffix":"","institution":"National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology","department":""},{"first_name":"William","middle_name":"H","last_name":"Wilson","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of New South Wales","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2015-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/25694/galley/15318/download/"}]}
