Symmetries and Representation
It is often said in physics that if two models of a theory are related by a symmetry, then the two models provide (or could provide) two different representations of the very same situation, alike the case of two maps of different color for the very same city. It is also said that the situations represented by two models of a theory are indiscernible in some ways when the models in question are related by a symmetry of the theory, just like the s…
Naturalness is Not an Aim of Belief
Is Consciousness Vague
This paper defends the thesis that possibly something is such that it is borderline whether it is phenomenally conscious. Consciousness is vague. There are a number of arguments that purport to show the opposite view that consciousness is precise. I argue that these arguments depend on principles that are inconsistent with plausible, and somewhat standard, principles governing the notion of a borderline case
Unity and Application
Propositions represent the entities from which they are formed. This fact has puzzled philosophers and some have put forward radical proposals in order to explain it. This paper develops a primitivist account of the representational properties of propositions that centers on the operation of application. As we will see, this theory wins out over its competitors on grounds of strength, systematicity and unifying power
Indefinite extensibility and the principle of sufficient reason
Phenomenal properties are luminous properties
Haiti, Quebec, and the French Canadian Mission to Quisqueya (December 1937-January 1938)
As part of an initiative to enhance cultural ties between Quebec and Haiti, Brother Marie-Victorin (founder of the Jardin Botanique de Montréal) led a French Canadian mission that visited Quisqueya (island home to Haiti and the Dominican Republic) between December 1937 and January 1938, less than four years after the end of the US occupation of Haiti (1915–1934). The mission's primary aim was to reinforce Quebec and Haiti's positions as important…
Can theories of animal discrimination explain perceptual learning in humans
We present a review of recent studies of perceptual learning conducted with nonhuman animals. The focus of this research has been to elucidate the mechanisms by which mere exposure to a pair of similar stimuli can increase the ease with which those stimuli are discriminated. These studies establish an important role for 2 mechanisms, one involving inhibitory associations between the unique features of the stimuli, the other involving a long-term …

Latent Inhibition of Rotation Chair-Induced Nausea in Healthy Male and Female Volunteers
OBJECTIVES: Pre-exposure to an environment in which a nausea-inducing body rotation will subsequently be given constitutes a latent inhibition procedure that might act to reduce anticipatory and postrotation nausea. METHODS: This was tested in 24 healthy subjects randomly assigned to receive no pre-exposure (group 0), a single pre-exposure (group 1), or three pre-exposures (group 3). Rotation was standardized as 5 x 1 minute rotation, but the sub…
A model for Pavlovian learning
Several formal models of excitatory classical conditioning are reviewed. It is suggested that a central problem for all of them is the explanation of cases in which learning does not occur in spite of the fact that the conditioned stimulus is a signal for the reinforcer. We propose a new model that deals with this problem by specifying that certain procedures cause a conditioned stimulus (CS) to lose effectiveness; in particular, we argue that a …
Exposure learning in animals
Exposure learning in animals
Reviews experimental studies (using animal Ss) that investigated the effects of prior exposure to a pair of stimuli on subsequent visual discrimination learning. The bulk of these experiments used young rats as Ss, with stimulus exposure taking place in the home cage over a long period of time. When
