Overview over the language plus vision investigation
The inner languagea report
Introduction
Section 1Asking the right question about the basis for language comprehension and learning
Section 2A simplified model of the mechanical and optical hardware common to most vertebrates: the interface to the world and ‘shared reality’ via action and vision
Section 3A simplified ‘information processing hardware’ model for vertebrates: to control action and to integrate vision
Section 4A simplified software and data model for vertebrates: an inner language to control action and to integrate vision
Section 5Improving information processing in improving action for increased survivability and reproduction
Section 6Improving information processing in improving action for increased survivability and reproduction: prediction and basic learning
Section 7Improving information processing in improving action for increased survivability and reproduction: social learning and dual channel evolution
