The notion of affordances is often directly linked with studies on mirror and canonical neurons as well as studies that try to relate language. In our previous work, we had developed a formalization for the leaming, perception and use of affordances in autonomous robots. In this paper, we will present ideas on how this formatization can be used as a base to link affordances with mirror/canonical neuron studies. Specifically, we will review the studies on mirror and canonical neurons as well as studies on modeling them and relating them to affordances, and will propose how our own affordance formalization can be extended to link affordances with mirror and canonical neurons.

Towards an Embodied Developing Vision System Atil, Ilkay; Kalkan, Sinan (2015-02-01) Many cognitive scientists now agree that artificial cognition might be probably achieved developmentally, starting from a set of basic-level premature capabilities and incrementally self-extending itself with experience through discrete or continuous stages bred with experience. Although we are still far from seeing an artificial full-fledged self-extending cognitive system, the literature has provided promising examples and demonstrations. Nonetheless, not much thought is given to the modeling of how an ar...
A Metasynthesis of Research on Foreign Language Teacher Identity in Turkey: Implications for Teacher Education Taner, Gülden; Karaman, Abdullah Cendel (2013-12-01) This study explores main areas of research and identifies patterns that help interpret current tendencies in the literature on aspects related to language teacher education. For this purpose, we report the outcomes of a metasynthesis of 44 studies related to teacher identity. Conceptually, the analysis is guided by how teacher identity is framed. The structured searches in relevant databases led to conducting a particular type of systematic review known as template analysis. As a result, based on the inter...
Understanding goal-directed human actions and physical causality: The role of mother-infant interaction Hohenberger, Annette Edeltraud; Elsabbagh, Mayada; Serres, Josette; de Schoenen, Scania; Karmiloff-Smith, Annette; Aschersleben, Gisa (2012-12-01) This study addresses the relation between early cognitive development and mother-infant interaction. Infants at the age of 6 and 10 months recruited from labs in three European countries - Germany, Great Britain, and France - were tested on two cognitive tasks: understanding of goal-directed human action and physical causality. Mother-infant interaction was assessed with the CARE-Index. In the goal-directed action task, the overall sample col the 6-month olds did not yet reliably discriminate between an obj...
An integrative model of justice perceptions, employee positive mood states and organizational cizitenship behavior Çağlar, Ezgi; Acar, Feride Pınar; Department of Business Administration (2011) In the extant literature, it is possible to find many studies focusing on antecedents of OCB, both cognitive factors and affective factors. However, previous research made limited contribution to the literature, since it did not focus on an integrative model covering both cognitive and affective factors. In this study it was aimed to search an integrative relationship among OCB, cognitive factors and affective factors. Following previous literature, justice perceptions and mood states of employees were take...
Emergence of verb and object concepts through learning affordances Dağ, Nilgün; Kalkan, Sinan; Şahin, Erol; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) Researchers are still far from thoroughly understanding and building accurate computational models of the mechanisms in human mind that give rise to cognitive processes such as emergence of concepts and language acquisition. As a new attempt to give an insight into this issue, in this thesis, we are concerned about developing a computational model that leads to the emergence of concepts. Speci cally, we investigate how a robot can acquire verb and object concepts through learning affordances, a notion first...
