Definitions of cognitionCognition is a general term for all forms of knowing
Cognition includes both contents and processes
Cognitive contents
what you know --- concepts, facts, propositions(命题), rules, and memories.
Cognitive processes
how you manipulate [mə'nipjuleit] these mental contents.

Fundamental methodology [,meθə'dɔlədʒi]
Basic logic: Extra mental steps will often result in more time required to perform a given task.
Example: A paper-and-pencil experiment (P237)nullnullTask 1
One stimulus [‘stimjuləs] categorization [,kætəgəri'zeʃən]
(capital or small letter)
Task 2
One stimulus categorization (capital or small letter)
Another stimulus categorization (vowel or consonant)

Controlled processes require attention and thus greater allocation of mental resources.
Automatic processes generally do not require attention and can often be performed along with other tasks without interference.Task: Judge if the pairs is physically differentTask: Judge if the pairs is physically differentnullNot all processes put the same demands on resourcesReview 1Review 1Subtractive method

Speech execution and speech errorsnullHow would you describe this character to a friend ?
How might your description change if you friend were blind ? Audience design Audience designOn producing an utterance, one must have in mind the audience to which that utterance is directed and what knowledge you share with members of that audience.A . The cooperative principle —— Paul GriceA . The cooperative principle —— Paul GriceSpeakers should produce utterances appropriate to the setting and meaning of the ongoing conversation.
There are four maxims
Four maximsFour maximsQuantity(量): make your contribution as informative as is required (no less no more)
Quality(质): make your contribution one that is true. Do not say that for which you lack adequate evidence.
Relation: be relevant.
Manner: be perspicacious. Avoid ambiguity. Be brief. Be orderly.B. Common ground —— Herbert Clark & Catherine MarshallBeing a cooperative speaker depends, in large part, on having accurate expectations about what your listener is likely to know and understand.
B. Common ground —— Herbert Clark & Catherine Marshall Judgments of common ground Judgments of common ground Three sources of evidence:
Community membership --- based on shared membership in communities of various sizes.
Linguistic copresence --- information contained in earlier
parts of a conversation, or in past conversations
Physical copresence --- Exists when a speaker and a
listener are directly in the physical presence of objects or
situationsLandmarksLandmarksNew York

Speakers must place the chosen words in the right place in the utterance
Speakers must fill in the sounds that make up the words they wish to utter they make sense given the structure of spoken English.

Language UnderstandingLanguage UnderstandingResolving ambiguity
The products of understandingResolving ambiguityResolving ambiguityLexical ambiguity
Lexical ambiguity involves determining which of the various meanings of a word may be appropriate in this context. E.g. He comes from the bank.
Structural ambiguity
Structural ambiguity involves determining which of two (or more) meanings the structure of a sentence implies.
E.g. The mother of the boy and the girl will arrive soon.
He watched the ball.He watched the ball.Lexical ambiguityLexical ambiguity
Research suggests that both definitions become accessible in memory after you read this type of sentence.
You need help from surrounding context to determine which ball is which.
She catered the ball.
The juggler is throwing the ball.nullSNPArtN

Propositions are the main ideas of utterances.nullE.g. The cat watched the mouse run under the sofa.
Proposition:
under (mouse, sofa)
run (mouse, under (mouse, sofa))
watch (cat, run (mouse, under (mouse, sofa)))
How did we know that ?How did we know that ?Evidence 1
E.g. the mausoleum that enshrined the tzar overlooked the square
Overlook(mausoleum ,square)
Evidence 2
We cannot remember the word of others by accuracynullOften listeners fill gaps with inferences---logical assumptions made possible by information in memory.
These inferences help you form a coherent representation of the information the speaker wishes you to understand; they do not elaborate on it.
E.g. I'm heading to the deli to meet Donna.
She promised to buy me a sandwich for lunch.Language and EvolutionLanguage and EvolutionAre nonhuman animals able to use language ?Language Thought And CultureLanguage Thought And CultureDoes language affect thought ? Review 2Review 2Language Production

Combing Verbal and Visual RepresentationsUsing visual representationsUsing visual representationsMental rotationnullMental rotation allows you to transform the image to one that matches representations stored in memory.
We can manipulate our visual image and think with it.
E.g. golf ball vs Ping-pong ball
can you image that floding a paper over 50times?
