Conceptual Combination: Extension and Intension. Commentary on Aerts, Gabora, and Sozzo
James A. Hampton · Topics in Cognitive Science · 2013
Aerts et al. provide a valuable model to capture the interactive nature of conceptual combination in conjunctions and disjunctions. The commentary provides a brief review of the interpretation of these interactions that has been offered in the literature, and argues for a closer link between the more traditional account in terms of concept intensions, and the parameters that emerge from the fitting of the Quantum Probability model.
