  18. GOFAI Introduction to Cognitive Science (Winograd, 1970) SHRDLU Will you please stack up both of the red blocks and either a green cube or a pyramid.

  19. GOFAI Introduction to Cognitive Science (Winograd, 1970) SHRDLU Will you please stack up both of the red blocks and either a green cube or a pyramid. OK. Which cube is sitting on the table? The large green one which supports the red pyramid.

  20. GOFAI Introduction to Cognitive Science (Winograd, 1970) SHRDLU Put a small cube onto the green cube which supports a pyramid.

  21. GOFAI Introduction to Cognitive Science (Winograd, 1970) SHRDLU Put a small cube onto the green cube which supports a pyramid. OK. Put the littlest pyramid on top of it.

  22. GOFAI Introduction to Cognitive Science (Winograd, 1970) SHRDLU Put a small cube onto the green cube which supports a pyramid. OK. Put the littlest pyramid on top of it. OK.

  23. GOFAI Introduction to Cognitive Science (Winograd, 1970) SHRDLU How many things are on top of the green cubes? I’m not sure what you mean by “on top of” in the phrase “on top of the green cubes.” Do you mean: 1-Directly on the surface 2-Anywhere on top? 2 Three of them.

  24. GOFAI Introduction to Cognitive Science (Winograd, 1970) SHRDLU Have you touched any pyramid before you put the green one on the little cube? Yes, the green one. When did you pick it up? While I was stacking up the red cube, a large red block, and a large green cube. Why? To get rid of it.

  25. GOFAI Introduction to Cognitive Science (Winograd, 1970) SHRDLU Why did you do that? To clear it off the red cube. Why did you clear off that cube? To put it on a large green cube.

  26. GOFAI Introduction to Cognitive Science (Winograd, 1970) SHRDLU Why did you do that? To stack up the red cube, a large red block, and a large green cube. Why did you do that? Because you asked me to, you stupid jerk!

  31. Disembodied Cognition Summer School in Cognitive Science In a Commentary on Hubert Dreyfus’s book What Computers Still Can’t Do (1972), Zenon Pylyshyn (1974) wrote: But the point which needs to be understood (as it is well understood by Piaget) is that the importance of the body is in the genesis of intelligence and not in its eventual practice. By the time he is an adult, a person’s intelligence depends on him possessing a body only in the obvious sense that his body contains the mechanisms in which intelligence is realized and provides the means for perception, locomotion, etc. To claim otherwise is to suggest that a person who is paralyzed has lost his intelligence!

  32. Disembodied Cognition Summer School in Cognitive Science Mahon & Caramazza (2008) Many studies have demonstrated that the sensory and motor systems are activated during conceptual processing. Such results have been interpreted as indicating that concepts, and important aspects of cognition more broadly, are embodied. That conclusion does not follow from the empirical evidence. The reason why is that the empirical evidence can equally be accommodated by a “disembodied” view of conceptual representation that makes explicit assumptions about spreading activation between the conceptual and sensory and motor systems. At the same time, the strong form of the embodied cognition hypothesis is at variance with currently available neuropsychological evidence. We suggest a middle ground between the embodied and disembodied cognition hypotheses -- grounding by interaction. This hypothesis combines the view that concepts are, at some level, “abstract” and “symbolic”, with the idea that sensory and motor information may “instantiate” online conceptual processing.
