      Abduction, inference to the best explanation, and scientific practise: The case of newton’s optics 

      Raftopoulos, Athanassios (2016)
      Hintikka (1997, 1998) argues that abduction is ignorance-preserving in the sense that the hypothesis that abduction delivers and which attempts to explain a set of phenomena is not, epistemologically speaking, on a firmer ...

      Abductive inference in late vision 

      Raftopoulos, Athanassios (2015)
      In earlier work (Raftopoulos 2009), I analyzed early vision, which I claimed is a cognitively impenetrable (CI) stage of visual processing. In contradistinction, late vision is cognitively penetrated (CP) and involves the ...

      Ambiguous figures and representationalism 

      Raftopoulos, Athanassios (2011)
      Macpherson (Nous 40(1):82-117, 2006) argues that the square/regular diamond figure threatens representationalism, construed as the theory which holds that the phenomenal character is explained by the nonconceptual content ...

      Are Mental Contents Carried by Neural Vehicles? 

      Raftopoulos, Athanassios (Global Science & Technology Forum, 2017)
      Any discussion concerning representations in cognitive psychology and science assumes that mental representational contents are carried by brain representational vehicles. Recently Sedivy attacked the view that mental ...

      Book Review 

      Demetriou, Andreas P.; Raftopoulos, Athanassios (Sage Publications Inc, 2000)
      Reviews the book 'Rethinking Innateness: A Connectionist Perspective on Development,' by J.L. Elman, E. Bates, M.H. Johnson, A. Karmiloff-Smith, D. Parisi and K. Plunket.

      Can connectionist theories illuminate cognition? 

      Raftopoulos, Athanassios (1998)
      In this commentary I attempt to show in what sense we can speak of connectionist theory as illuminating cognition. It is usually argued that distributed connectionist networks do not explain brain function because they do ...

      Can nonconceptual content be stored in visual memory? 

      Raftopoulos, Athanassios (2010)
      Dartnall claims that visual short-term memory (VSTM) stores nonconceptual content (NCC), in the form of compressed images. In this paper I argue against the claim that NCC can be stored in VSTM. I offer four reasons why ...

      Cartesian analysis and synthesis 

      Raftopoulos, Athanassios (2003)
      This paper aims to provide an explication of the meaning of 'analysis' and 'synthesis' in Descartes' writings. In the first part I claim that Descartes' method is entirely captured by the term 'analysis', and that it is a ...

      Cognition and perception: how do psychology and neural science inform philosophy? 

      Raftopoulos, Athanassios (The MIT Press, 2009)

    • Article  

      Cognitive and Perceptual Limitations and Learning: An Excursion into Connectionist Theory 

      Raftopoulos, Athanassios (1997)
      Most developmental theories consider development as a process in which an organism grows from an immature (biological, behavioral, sensory, and cognitive) state to a mature one, the latter being more perfect and 'better'. ...

      Cognitive developmental change: theories, models, and measurement 

      Demetriou, Andreas P.; Raftopoulos, Athanassios (Cambridge University Press, 2004)

    • Article  

      The Cognitive Impenetrability of Perception and Theory-Ladenness 

      Raftopoulos, Athanassios (2015)
      In this paper, I claim that since (a) there is a cognitively impenetrable (CI) stage of visual perception, namely early vision, and (b) cognitive penetrability (CP) and theory-ladenness are coextensive, the CI of early ...

      The cognitive impenetrability of the content of early vision is a necessary and sufficient condition for purely nonconceptual content 

      Raftopoulos, Athanassios (2014)
      I elaborate on Pylyshyn's definition of the cognitive impenetrability (CI) of early vision, and draw on the role of concepts in perceptual processing, which links the problem of the CI or cognitive penetrability (CP) of ...

      Cognitive Penetration Lite and Nonconceptual Content 

      Raftopoulos, Athanassios (2016)
      The Macpherson (Philos Phenomenol Res 84(1):24–62, 2012) argued that the perceptual experience of colors is cognitively penetrable (CP). Macpherson also thinks that perception has nonconceptual content (NCC) because this ...

      Cracks on the mosaic unity of science 

      Raftopoulos, Athanassios (2010)
      The article reviews the book "Explaining the Brain: Mechanisms and the Mosaic Unity of Science," by Carl F. Craver.

      Defending realism on the proper ground 

      Raftopoulos, Athanassios (2006)
      'Epistemological constructivism holds that vision is mediated by background preconceptions and is theory-laden. Hence, two persons with differing theoretical commitments see the world differently and they could agree on ...

      Getting the world right: Cognitive maps and pictures of universals: Paul M. Churchland: Plato's camera: How the physical brain captures a landscape of abstract universals. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2012, x+289pp, $35 HB

      Interactions, Computations, and Experience: Interleaved Springboards of Cognitive Emergence 

      Demetriou, Andreas P.; Raftopoulos, Athanassios; Kargopoulos, P. V. (1999)
      This rejoinder attempts to show that Bickhard's criticism is irrelevant to our theory and epistemologically one-sided. It is irrelevant because our theory is pragmaticist and interactivist at a number of levels ignored by ...
