{"pk":49132,"title":"Perception as a Foundation for Common-Sense Theories of the World","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Humans have the remarkable ability to construct commonsense theories about the world through perception. From inferring the physical relationships between objects to understanding social interactions and predicting future events, perception plays a foundational role in shaping how we learn and reason. But how do systems for perception and higher level cognitive theories interact? Are perception and common sense knowledge distinct, such that perception simply provides information for other cognitive systems to act on (Firestone & Scholl, 2016)? Or are they interlinked in ways that allow common-sense theories to affect what we perceive, or represent the world for other commonsense domains (Levin, Baker, & Banaji, 2016)?","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Symposia","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/05q9f3nz","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Abdul-Rahim","middle_name":"","last_name":"Deeb","name_suffix":"","institution":"Johns Hopkins University","department":""},{"first_name":"Kevin","middle_name":"A","last_name":"Smith","name_suffix":"","institution":"Massachusetts Institute of Technology","department":""},{"first_name":"Shari","middle_name":"","last_name":"Liu","name_suffix":"","institution":"Johns Hopkins University","department":""},{"first_name":"Judith","middle_name":"E.","last_name":"Fan","name_suffix":"","institution":"Stanford University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2025-01-02T03:00:00+09:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/49132/galley/37093/download/"},{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/49132/galley/38638/download/"}]}
