Cognitive Grammar is a theory within the framework of Cognitive Linguistics that gives an account of human linguistic ability based entirely on general cognitive abilities. Because of the general complexity and open-endedness of the theory, there is not much computational work associated with it. This thesis proposes that ACT-R cognitive architecture can provide the basic primitives for the cognitive abilities required for a better implementation of Cognitive Grammar. Thus, a language model was developed on the ACT-R architecture. The model processes active and passive sentences, constructs their propositional representations, and tests the representation on a sentence verification task of the experiment of Anderson (1974).

Wisdom in relation to ecopsychological self Şahin, Rukiye; Baloğlu, Mustafa; Erdem, Ahmet; Erdem, Şefika (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-01-01) Theoretical and empirical studies on wisdom continue to interest researchers in various fields. Studies have long pointed out the empirical operationalization of the construct, which has been speculated on since ancient Greece. In addition to numerous theoretical conceptualizations and operational measures, investigations between wisdom and other variables such as positive human traits, dispositional, situational, and environmental variables have helped us understand the concept better. The wisdom developme...
The Relationships Between Motivations of Intergroup Differentiation as a Function of Different Dimensions of Social Identity Tasdemir, Nagihan (SAGE Publications, 2011-06-01) This article aims to classify social identity-based theories of intergroup differentiation in terms of different dimensions of social identity to understand further the motivational bases of intergroup differentiation. For this purpose, I attempt to incorporate three lines of research in social psychology: (a) theories examining intergroup differentiation as a function of social identity, namely social identity theory and SCT; (b) studies suggesting social identity as a multidimensional construct; and (c) m...
Self-organization in the development of social cognition: Symmetry breaking and the relational-models framework Bolender, John (Psychologia Society, 2007-12-01) Alan Page Fiske has made a strong empirical case that social cognition is structured by four elementary mental schemata, the "relational models". Fiske argues that the four models are innate, and he thus concludes that they are encoded in the genome. But work on self-organization suggests that biological structures can be innate without being genetically encoded. Plausibly, the four models result from principles of self-organization, specifically a sequence of symmetry-breaking bifurcations. The evidence fo...
Effects of instructions based on cognitive bridging and cognitive conflict on 9th grade students‘ understanding of force and motion, epistemological beliefs, and self-efficacy Yaman, İbrahim; Özdemir, Ömer Faruk; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2013) The aim of this study is to compare the effects of the instructions based on cognitive bridging and cognitive conflict approaches and gender on 9th grade students‘ conceptual understanding of force and motion, self-efficacy, and epistemological beliefs. The study was conducted with a sample of 206 students in two different schools. The instructional method (traditional, cognitive conflict, and cognitive bridging) and students‘ gender were used as independent variables in a 3x2 factorial design. Within this ...
Hints of beauty in social cognition: Broken symmetries in mental dynamics Bolender, John (Elsevier BV, 2008-03-01) It is a widely held assumption that social cognition is wholly the result of natural selection and learning, debates arising over how much was naturally selected versus how much is learned. I argue here, however, for there being a third factor, namely physics, specifically symmetries and symmetry breakings in neural dynamics. These symmetries manifest themselves in social judgments in a fairly direct way as descending chains of subgroup types in mental social schemata. These schemata are the four models of ...
