Abstract | Understanding is discussed with reference to an agent-action-objective model. The formalism developed controls the processes of differentiation and integration underlying understanding. The starting point is a culturally agreed-upon expectancy or prescription that defines a particular form of understanding. Central to an investigation of how scientists model understanding is how they conceive symbols. The collective cognitive imperative in the scientific community states that symbols are abstract codes whose definitions are wholly arbitrary and, hence, can only be understood by those who have a common outlook. Scientists working with the development of computer technology, especially within the field of artificial intelligence, have repeatedly pointed out that they have constructed models of understanding the natural language of significance for cognition-oriented research. Therefore, focus is on classical models. It appears that self-reference is an important constituent component in any model or theory of understanding. (TJH) |
