Gärdenfors I 147
Forces/Movement/Marr/Vaina/Gärdenfors: Marr and Vaina (1982)⁽¹⁾ and Vaina (1983)⁽²⁾ (Extension of the Cylinder Model of Marr & Nishihara, 1978)⁽³⁾: for the analysis of acts:
I 148
Actions/Marr/Vaina: differential equations are used to describe the movements of the cylinder models. These are applied individually to the movements of the body parts. (See also Vaina & Bennour, 1985)⁽⁴⁾.
Problem: the cognitive apparatus is not designed for Newtonian forces. Yet:
Action/Representation/Gärdenfors: Thesis: an action is represented by the force patterns, which it produces.
