It includes also some discussion of the mathematics involved in computer graphics as well as a few remarks about good style in mathematical illustration. To explain mathematics well often requires good illustrations, and computers in our age have changed drastically the potential of graphical output for this purpose. There are many aspects to this change. The most apparent is that computers allow one to produce graphics output of sheer volume never before imagined. A less obvious one is that they have made it possible for amateurs to produce their own illustrations of professional quality. Possible, but not easy, and certainly not as easy as it is to produce their own mathematical writing with Donald Knuth’s program TEX. In spite of the advances in technology over the past 50 years, it is still not a trivial matter to come up routinely with figures that show exactly what you want them to show, exactly where you want them to show it. This is to some extent inevitable—pictures at their best contain a lot of information, and almost by definition this means that they are capable of wide variety. It is surely not possible to come up with a really simple tool that will let you create easily all the graphics you want to create—the range of possibilities is just too large.

  • Reexamining Enactivism
    Aporia vol. 23 no. 1—2013 Reexamining Enactivism GREGORY BLAKEMORE n Action in Perception and “Experience without the Head,” Alva Noë argues that what is perceived emerges as one actively moves about in Ithe environment. Moreover, the role of action is directly relevant for perceptual content, as it is enacted into existence. Noë’s goal is to devel- op an account of perceptual experience that supports an externalism in which perceptual experience does not need to be explained in terms of the brain, but includes external processes (Block, 2005; Hurley, 1998; Noë, 2004). He refers to this account as the “sensorimotor account of percep- tion” (2004). More specifically for Noë, sensorimotor contingencies lead to an acquisition of sensorimotor knowledge. Sensorimotor knowledge is an intuitive knowledge that underwrites a perceiver’s understanding of how movement affects changes in sensation (O’Regan and Noë, Visual; Noë, 2004). Noë admits that he lacks a clear articulation of the precise nature of sensorimotor contingencies,1 which undercuts the adequacy of his model. Sensorimotor contingencies and sensorimotor knowledge require a causal 1 Noë acknowledges: “On the theory presented here, to have a sensation is to exercise one’s mas- tery of the relevant sensorimotor contingencies and in this sense to be ‘attuned’ to the ways in which one’s movements will affect the character of input. We characterize attunement as a form of practical knowledge. These terms are vague and may be somewhat confusing” (O’Regan and Noë, Synthese, 84). Gregory Blakemore is pursuing a Bachelor’s in Philosophy from Portland State Uni- versity. His areas of interest include philosophy of mind and 19th and 20th century continental philosophy.

  • Semantic Foundation of Diagrammatic Modelling Languages
    Universität Leipzig Fakultät für Mathematik und Informatik Institut für Informatik Johannisgasse 26 04103 Leipzig Semantic Foundation of Diagrammatic Modelling Languages Applying the Pictorial Turn to Conceptual Modelling Diplomarbeit im Studienfach Informatik vorgelegt von cand. inf. Alexander Heußner Leipzig, August 2007 betreuender Hochschullehrer: Prof. Dr. habil. Heinrich Herre Institut für Medizininformatik, Statistik und Epidemologie (I) Härtelstrasse 16–18 04107 Leipzig Abstract The following thesis investigates the applicability of the picto- rial turn to diagrammatic conceptual modelling languages. At its heart lies the question how the “semantic gap” between the for- mal semantics of diagrams and the meaning as intended by the modelling engineer can be bridged. To this end, a pragmatic ap- proach to the domain of diagrams will be followed, starting from pictures as the more general notion. The thesis consists of three parts: In part I, a basic model of cognition will be proposed that is based on the idea of conceptual spaces. Moreover, the most central no- tions of semiotics and semantics as required for the later inves- tigation and formalization of conceptual modelling will be intro- duced. This will allow for the formalization of pictures as semi- otic entities that have a strong cognitive foundation. Part II will try to approach diagrams with the help of a novel game-based F technique. A prototypical modelling attempt will reveal basic shortcomings regarding the underlying formal foundation. It will even become clear that these problems are common to all current conceptualizations of the diagram domain. To circumvent these difficulties, a simple axiomatic model will be proposed that allows to link the findings of part I on conceptual modelling and formal languages with the newly developed con- cept of «abstract logical diagrams».

  • Inviwo — a Visualization System with Usage Abstraction Levels
    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON VISUALIZATION AND COMPUTER GRAPHICS, VOL X, NO. Y, MAY 2019 1 Inviwo — A Visualization System with Usage Abstraction Levels Daniel Jonsson,¨ Peter Steneteg, Erik Sunden,´ Rickard Englund, Sathish Kottravel, Martin Falk, Member, IEEE, Anders Ynnerman, Ingrid Hotz, and Timo Ropinski Member, IEEE, Abstract—The complexity of today’s visualization applications demands specific visualization systems tailored for the development of these applications. Frequently, such systems utilize levels of abstraction to improve the application development process, for instance by providing a data flow network editor. Unfortunately, these abstractions result in several issues, which need to be circumvented through an abstraction-centered system design. Often, a high level of abstraction hides low level details, which makes it difficult to directly access the underlying computing platform, which would be important to achieve an optimal performance. Therefore, we propose a layer structure developed for modern and sustainable visualization systems allowing developers to interact with all contained abstraction levels. We refer to this interaction capabilities as usage abstraction levels, since we target application developers with various levels of experience. We formulate the requirements for such a system, derive the desired architecture, and present how the concepts have been exemplary realized within the Inviwo visualization system. Furthermore, we address several specific challenges that arise during the realization of such a layered architecture, such as communication between different computing platforms, performance centered encapsulation, as well as layer-independent development by supporting cross layer documentation and debugging capabilities. Index Terms—Visualization systems, data visualization, visual analytics, data analysis, computer graphics, image processing. F 1 INTRODUCTION The field of visualization is maturing, and a shift can be employing different layers of abstraction.

J. L. Pouw VU University Amsterdam, Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands and University of Wollongong, Australia Huib Looren de Jong VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands Abstract This article aims to explore the scope of a Situated and Embodied Social Psychology (ESP). At first sight, social cognition seems embodied cognition par excellence. Social cognition is first and foremost a supra-individual, interactive, and dynamic process (Semin & Smith, 2013). Radical approaches in Situated/Embodied Cognitive Science (Enactivism) claim that social cognition consists in an emergent pattern of interaction between a continuously coupled organism and the (social) environment; it rejects representationalist accounts of cognition (Hutto & Myin, 2013). However, mainstream ESP (Barsalou, 1999, 2008) still takes a rather representation-friendly approach that construes embodiment in terms of specific bodily formatted representations used (activated) in social cognition. We argue that mainstream ESP suffers from vestiges of theoretical solipsism, which may be resolved by going beyond internalistic spirit that haunts mainstream ESP today. Keywords ecological psychology, enactivism, Perceptual Symbol Systems, Situated Embodied Cognitive Science, social psychology During the past few decades, Situated and Embodied Cognitive Science (hereinafter Situated/Embodied Cognition) has become increasingly influential in psychology and philosophy of mind. Briefly, it holds that the mind is inherently determined and struc- tured by the body and the environment, or in a more radical version, that the mind extends over the body and the environment (for overviews see Clark, 2008; Shapiro, 2011).

International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 16(3), em0650. https://doi.org/10.29333/iejme/11068 ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Received: 18 Jan. 2021 This paper adopts a semiotic perspective on mathematical learning according to Peirce, in which the actions on Accepted: 17 May 2021 material arrangements are considered the bases for diagrammatic work. The focus is on the learner’s actions using digital and analogue material arrangements which are the starting point for the reconstruction of the learner’s mathematical interpretations. In this paper a qualitative interpretative paradigm is adopted for the reconstruction. Specifically, a semiotic specification of the context analysis according to Mayring and an adoption of Vogel, is carried out. The reconstruction of the mathematical interpretation is presented with a focus on a geometrical problem that third graders are working on. Finally, the results of several cases are compared to identify possible differences between the analysed actions when using digital and analogue material arrangements. Keywords: semiotics, mathematics education, actions on material, mathematical interpretation of diagrams, primary school INTRODUCTION In mathematics education, a cognitive psychological perspective largely determines the perception of actions on the learning material and the focus is on their function as means of illustration.

  • Distributed Cognition in Classical Antiquity Reveals Diverse Notions of Distributed Cognition in the Early Greek and Roman Worlds
    Edited by Miranda Anderson, THE EDINBURGH HISTORY OF DISTRIBUTED COGNITION Douglas Cairns and THE EDINBURGH HISTORY OF DISTRIBUTED COGNITION Mark Sprevak ‘Once we look for it, distributed cognition is ubiquitous in classical antiquity. This book is a fascinating examination of the tools that made thinking easier and of the complex boundaries between the individual mind and the group.’ Ruth Scodel, University of Michigan Distributed Cognition in Classical Antiquity Reveals diverse notions of distributed cognition in the early Greek and Roman worlds This collection brings together eleven essays by international specialists in classical antiquity and provides a general and a period-specific introduction to distributed cognition and the cognitive humanities. The essays look at the ways in which cognition is explicitly or implicitly conceived of as distributed across brain, body and world in Greek and Roman technology, science and medicine, material culture, philosophy and literary studies. This exploratory work will be valuable across the humanities as it reveals the historical foundations of our theoretical and practical attempts to comprehend and optimise the distributed nature of human cognition.

    Mathematics Education Research Journal 2004, Vol. 16, No. 1, 41-70 Strategies Employed by Upper Secondary Students for Overcoming or Exploiting Conditions Affecting Accessibility of Applications Tasks1 Gloria Stillman University of Melbourne A cognitive/metacognitive framework is presented for analysing applications tasks and responses to these. Conditions facilitating or impeding access to such tasks at the upper secondary level were identified using qualitative data analysis techniques within this framework. Strategies employed in exploiting, or overcoming these conditions were identified. A well-developed repertoire of cognitive and metacognitive strategies together with a rich store of mathematical knowledge, real-world knowledge and experiences, and comprehension skills facilitated access. This was enhanced by metacognitive knowledge encouraging student engagement with the task and by students imagining they were in the task situation. Once moderate skill had been achieved in accessing these applications, coordination and integration of multiple representations, further cues, and mathematical processes and procedures became critical. The use of applications in secondary classrooms for both teaching and assessment is receiving increasing attention in many countries, for example, Australia (Queensland Board of Senior Secondary School Studies [QBSSSS], 1992, 2000), the Netherlands (Gravemeijer & Doorman, 1999), Uganda (Ekol, 2004), and Canada (Roulet & Suurtamm, 2004). According to Blum and Niss (1991), there are essentially five arguments
