Why know myself? Flexible behaviour and the need for self-modelling: Poster

2021

In this paper I argue that some forms of the capacity for behavioural flexibility entail a specific kind of representation, a self-model. This means that systems with that capacity, among them human beings, must have self-models. In its basic form, the capacity for behavioural flexibility allows a system to respond to the same sensory stimulus differentially, depending on the values of parameters with which it represents the world. On seeing a street, I might cycle straight ahead or take a sharp turn left – depending on whether I represent it to blocked off just around the corner. More advanced forms expand on this. Self-models are a form of self-representation in which states are represent…

Negotiating an identity : the mediated discursive self-representation of the Polish immigrant community in the UK

2017

The chapter investigates the mediated entextualizations of the identities of Polish immigrants to the UK in the period of post-crisis politics and economic reforms. The media discourse studied is collected from MojaWyspa.co.uk (MyIsland), one of the largest Polish-language online hubs designed for the substantial Polish community living on the British Isles. The study shows which discursive strategies of othering are employed to delimit the Polish immigrants’ collective identity, which self/other-presentation techniques are used, and how this group identity is legitimized argumentatively. It examines the linguistic realizations of self/other reference, active/passive and positive/negative p…

Review article: recommended reading list of early publications on atomic layer deposition - outcome of the "virtual Project on the History of ALD"

2017

Atomic layer deposition (ALD), a gas-phase thin film deposition technique based on repeated, self-terminating gas-solid reactions, has become the method of choice in semiconductor manufacturing and many other technological areas for depositing thin conformal inorganic material layers for various applications. ALD has been discovered and developed independently, at least twice, under different names: atomic layer epitaxy (ALE) and molecular layering. ALE, dating back to 1974 in Finland, has been commonly known as the origin of ALD, while work done since the 1960s in the Soviet Union under the name "molecular layering" (and sometimes other names) has remained much less known. The virtual proj…

Análisis de los antecedentes histórico-filosóficos de la "paradoja cognitiva de Duval"

2015

In a famous article published in 1993, Raymond Duval highlighted a simple fact: the student may confuse the mathematical object O he is trying to build cognitively with one of its semiotic representations R(O). Duval explained that this confusion was due to a sort of inevitable paradox: only someone who has already built O, can recognize R(O) as a representation of O and not as an object in itself. Thereafter, this thought has been extremely influential for researchers. However, even if in different terms, many scholars of semiotics have emphasized the same phenomenon. In this paper we propose to remind some of them. En un famoso artículo publicado en 1993, Raymond Duval evidenciaba el sigu…

Mišela Gondrī filmas “Dienu putas” (“L'écume des jours”) semiotiskā analīze un realitātes reprezentācija

2017

Bakalaura darba tēma ir “Mišela Gondrī filmas “Dienu putas” (l'ecume des jours) semiotiskā analīze un realitātes reprezentācija”. Bakalaura darba ietvaros autores veiktā filmas analīze sniegs izpratni par to, kāpēc tās veidošanā ir izmantoti noteikti elementi, kuri sākotnēji var tikt interpretēti, kā nekas vairāk par pārspīlētu oriģinalitāti, kas bieži vien skatītājos raisa tieši pretēju, negatīvu attieksmi pret režisoru, kurš šķietami vēlas piesaistīt skatītāju uzmanību ar pārmērīgo, savā starpā nesavienojamo un kontrastējošo vizuālo elementu daudzumu. Analizējot filmu caur semiotiskās analīzes prizmu, autore atbild uz jautājumu, vai ikviens no Mišela Gondrī šajā filmā izmantotajiem vizuāl…

The effect of singing the melody in the practice of the piano

2009

The aim of this study was to test a hypothesis that if learners created more precise auditory representation from singing a melody, they could learn piano playing to reach at a higher level of performance. Seven novice piano players of varied ages learned to play novel musical pieces with and without singing their melodies. The time period of practice sessions for learning each melody with and without singing conditions was equalized. After all practice sessions, their performances were recorded to MD. The players themselves and 13 qualified piano teachers as a third party evaluated recorded music based on preciseness of performance with the given score, naturalness of the melody, and appro…
