Conceptual learning by miniature brains / Convergent cognitive evolution across animal taxa : comparisons of chimpanzees, corvids, and elephants / The evolution of concepts about agents : or, what do animals recognize when they recognize an individual? / Missed connections : a connectivity-constrained account of the representation and organization of object concepts / Concept nativism and neural plasticity / The evolution of conceptual design / How natural selection shapes conceptual structure : human intuitions and concepts of ownership / Burge on perception / Observational concepts / What's in a concept? Analog versus parametric concepts in LCCM theory / The representation of events in language and cognition / Relations : language, epistemologies, categories, and concepts / Innate conceptual primitives manifested in the languages of the world and in infant cognition / Why theories of concepts should not ignore the problem of acquisition / Conceptual innovation on the frontiers of science / Does the infant possess a moral concept? / Normative concepts / All concepts are ad hoc concepts / By default : concepts are accessed in a context-independent manner / Logical concepts and associative characterizations / Concepts in a probabilistic language of thought / Concepts in the semantic triangle / Grounding concepts / Aurore Avarguès-Weber and Martin Giurfa -- Joshua M.

"The study of concepts has advanced dramatically in recent years, with exciting new findings and theoretical developments. Core concepts have been investigated in greater depth and new lines of inquiry have blossomed, with researchers from an ever broader range of disciplines making important contributions. In this volume, leading philosophers and cognitive scientists offer original essays that present the state-of-the-art in the study of concepts. These essays, all commissioned for this book, do not merely present the usual surveys and overviews; rather, they offer the latest work on concepts by a diverse group of theorists as well as discussions of the ideas that should guide research over the next decade. The book is an essential companion volume to the earlier Concepts: Core Readings, the definitive source for classic texts on the nature of concepts. The essays cover concepts as they relate to animal cognition, the brain, evolution, perception, and language, concepts across cultures, concept acquisition and conceptual change, concepts and normativity, concepts in context, and conceptual individuation"--MIT CogNet.
