Obligatory processing of irrelevant gesture
This paper presents a study of selected iconic gestures with a view to determining their effects on RT in a task-relevant and a task-irrelevant context. In two experiments, participants were presented with a coloured shape on a computer screen, a spoken statement referring to the presented shape, and a gesture that was task irrelevant. The findings from both experiments show strong support for the assumption that gesture processing is obligatory;…
Cognitive Processes and Theory Development
Why the Young Child Has Neither a Theory of Mind Nor a Theory of Anything Else
In recent cognitive theorising there have been frequent attempts to represent children, and some other primates, as possessing theories about particular domains of knowledge or experience. The present paper presents a critique of the child-as-theoretician metaphor and points out that too often a suggestive analogy is treated as if it were an exact homology. In particular, it is argued that comparisons between the cognitive development of an indiv…
Acquisition of a Concept of Logical Necessity
The notion of logical necessity is central to Piagetian theory because it is held that an understanding of the necessary nature of each is the criterion of true transitivity, deduction, and conservation. Cross-cultural and developmental studies of reasoning, as well as earlier studies of conservation, have posed enormous difficulties for the use of this criterion. The present article attempts to clarify matters by analysing the concept of logical…
Logical necessity and the strong programme for the sociology of knowledge
The Effects of Negative Relatedness Upon Word‐picture and Word‐word Comparisons and Subsequent Recall
In two experiments subjects were required to compare the meanings of either a word and a picture, or of two words. Different name levels, i.e. category versus superordinate names, had only a small effect on the time to compare a name with a picture. When incongruent stimulus pairs were semantically related, both positive and negative decision times were longer than when the incongruent pairs were unrelated; relatedness also affected subjects' rec…
