Toward A Logic of Meanings

Predictive Modelling of The Dynamic Patterns of Thinking in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: Diagnostic Accuracy of Spatiotemporal Fractal Measures

“…Moreover, the methodological expression of this condition could be accounted in a "close-loop experimental paradigm" (Marken, 2009;Marken and Mansell, 2013) aimed to get "morphological" measures (Labra-Spröhnle, 2015), and without resorting to a faculties 1 or modular framework. Instead, behaviour and mental activities are conceived as integrative dynamic phenomena, organised in "functional systems" (Vygotsky, 1965;Anokhin, 1974;Luria, 1980;Labra-Spröhnle, 2016a and representational (implications) means (Piaget, 2006;Pezzulo, 2008;Piaget et al, 2013), and that methodologically, this parallel activity can be expressed in a relational framework (Piaget, 1963).…”

“…The second is that all these goal-directed activities are powered and driven by inferential processes (in a wide sense, i.e., at presentational and representational levels). Inferences are dynamical coordinators that create meaningful implications inside and across different cognitive domains (perceptions, actions, functions, operations) Piaget (1985); Piaget et al (2013).…”

“…By these means, inferences regulate and drive the organism-environment system from the very basic sensorimotor levels, as in unconscious innate reflex actions; right up to the highest goal-directed conscious cognitive activities (Peirce, 1998;Piaget et al, 2013;Labra-Spröhnle, 2016a). The fundamental role of the inferential processes (and their subordinated anticipatory behaviours) in the structure of any goal directed behaviour is paramount in the theory of functional systems (Anokhin, 1974) and in the theory of inferences from Peirce (1998), andPiaget (2013). The convergence of these theories inspired one of us to develop in detail an "intensional" definition of EF (Labra-Spröhnle, 2016a).…”

The Bayesian logic of frequency-based conjunction fallacies

“…Building on the idea that ''probability'' is polysemous (Hertwig & Gigerenzer, 1999;; see also Piaget & Garcia, 1991), a mathematical model for pattern-based probabilities of noisy-logical predications is proposed that allows for apparent violations of the conjunction rule. The proposed model may properly be termed inductive Bayesian pattern logic of noisylogical relations'' (shortened to ''Bayesian logic'' or ''Bayes logic'' (BL) (von Sydow, 2009(von Sydow, , 2007a(von Sydow, , 2008).…”

Beyond Teaching Methods: A Complexity Approach

“…Commonplace planning fails to recognize the autopoietic nature of learners, and hence fails to capture the essence of learning and teaching. Furthermore, Piaget, who was not explicitly acknowledging that learners are autopoietic systems, also noted the difference between the logic of the learner and the logic of one who already knows (Piaget, Garcia, Davidson & Easley, 1992). While a fuller discussion of autopoiesis and planning is beyond the scope of this piece, it suffices to note that commonplace planning for instruction fails to recognize the "bringing forth" that occurs during the growth of a complex system.…”
