FRAMES
OF COGNITION – 2
In “Frames of Cognition-1”, I have stated “It seems frames in daily language signify a different meaning than frames in cognition specially in psychology and sociology.
The daily
usage of frame signifies an enclosing border.
The cognitive use of frame signifies a context and a decision of
real/true or not real/false.
The
difference of daily and cognitive usage is the triggering mechanism in the
cognitive usage. The cognitive usage also
keeps the borders in the sense of being in a collection of objects or not. But it
provides a trigging mechanism and a pointer to an action/schema in
addition. If an input is in the
collection of the frame it trigges its schema.
This is a fundemental difference between the daily and other usages of
frames arising from the inherent structure of the human brain.”
I have
provided some references on the use of frames in different areas of interest
also.
Here. in
“Frames of Cognition-2”, I will explain why the difference between the daily
and other usages of frames is only on the surface. In fact, frames inherently has the same
signified functionality.
A picture
surrounded by a clear context signifies a painting or a picture.
1-
If the context is composed of a wall
and an ornamented frame and a picture in it we simply thing it is a
painting. The presentation frame is the
context that trigs/signifies the meaning ‘painting’.
2-
If the context is a computer screen we
would percieve it as a simple picture.
The presentation frame/context trigs/signifies
the meaning ‘picture’ or ‘simple picture’.
In fact
even a simple frame signifies a meaning in our semantic vocabulary such as a
window frame or picture frame which are polymorphic instances of the semantic
node ‘frame’.
Each
percievable context trigges some node/word in our semantic vocabulary. In this sense the daily usage of frames
inherently function the same as the cognitive, psychological and sociological
uses of frames.
What
happens if a simple frame that is percieved, cannot signify a node/word in our
semantic vocabulary? This happens in
three possibilities...
First the signification may reside
somewhere else outside the semantic memory.
It may be a feeling.
Second it may be a partial context
that may fit a signification when completed, either feeling or semantic.
Third it may be a completely new
context trigging/pointing to a new feeling or a new semantic object.
In “Frames of Cognition-3”, I will first ponder on
the feelings of joy and vigilance and on how their processes works. Then I will brainstorm on the role of frames
in the processing of feelings and the interaction of cognition and emotion.
This will
prepare the substructure for studying illusions and specially aviation
illusions in my later blog articles.
