{"pk":30862,"title":"Reinterpretation and the Perceptual Microstructure of Conceptual Knowledge","subtitle":null,"abstract":"In this paper I argue that conceptual knowledge has significant perceptual content, based upon evidence from studies of theory formation and from recent experimental work on learning in complex physical domains. I outline a theory of \"perceptually grounded\" conceptual knowledge, and briefly outline a computational model of learning about lasers, in which student's \"qualitative' understanding of lasers rests primarily upon his perceptual experience in the domain.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Poster Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4fk4t7m2","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Jeff","middle_name":"","last_name":"Shrager","name_suffix":"","institution":"Xerox PARC","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1989-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/30862/galley/20711/download/"}]}
