I - Plato, Meno Meno as a theater play Socratic method Main topic: virtue Other questions of epistemology are embedded in broader question of ethics. Plato argues in favor of innate virtue. Virtue must be innate because it is not taught (there arent any teachers of virtue). Relation to concept of poverty of stimulus Children cannot have learned language (grammar) from the linguistic data available to them. Hence, (at least some part of) language must be innate. Argues against the empiricist view of language acquisition. II - Rationalism vs. Empiricism Question: How much do we depend on sensory experiences to gain knowledge? Rationalism Knowledge can be gained without sensory experience. Reason can tell you about your universe, the external world. Empiricism Knowledge can only be derived from sensory experiences. Locke Idea of a blank slate (tabula rasa) Knowledge comes from SENSATION and REFLECTION SENSATION: our senses [] convey into the mind several distinct perceptions of external objects. REFLECTION: the mind furnishes the understanding with ideas of its own operations. Thus, experience alone does not account for all knowledge. Is Locke a rationalist as well? Knowledge gained from reflections Paragraph 6: if a child were kept in a place where he never saw any other but black and white till he were a man, he would have no more ideas of scarlet or green, than he that from his childhood never tasted an oyster, or a pine-apple, has of those particular relishes. What would Leibniz say about this? Concept of critical periods for language acquisition Ability to learn a language is limited to the years before puberty after which, as a result of neurological changes in the brain the ability is lost. Leibniz It is not knowledge that is innate, but the potential to acquire it. Innate principles are tendencies. Preface: the soul inherently contains the sources of various notions and doctrines; none of these comes from external objects, whose only role is to rouse up the notions and doctrines on suitable occasions. Is Leibniz an empiricist as well? Leibniz argues that senses bring innate ideas and principles to mind => we need our senses to discover the knowledge already stored in us. Hume Relations of ideas Things we know intuitively or demonstratively Matters of fact Everything else: empirical knowledge and beliefs Learned from: the senses memory recollection factual reasoning (which can combine data from senses and memory) Causal beliefs are matters of fact, discoverable only by experience, not by reason. We cannot check the validity of our causal beliefs. Humans have a strong propensity to make inferences and hold causal beliefs, even though it is not rational. Are beliefs necessary? Hume argues that we can never be sure whether the world will be the same tomorrow as it was today. What would happen if you did not believe that your dorm would still be there when you get back to it? Can humans function in a constant state of skepticism? How does this relate to AI? Are beliefs necessary to the AI enterprise? Theory most appealing to strong AI? Knowledge-based AI Put human knowledge into a machine Domain-specific knowledge (e.g. medicine) A lot of progress accomplished but limited potential for strong AI One must first learn all the knowledge that a human being before implementing it in a machine. Is this approach rationalist or empiricist? Learning-based AI Turings idea of a child machine 1. The initial state of the mind, say at birth 2. The education to which it has been subjected 3. Other experience (not education) to which it has been subjected More potential for strong AI Is this approach rationalist or empiricist? Strong AI and empiricism Strong AI is harder to reconcile with the idea of innate knowledge If humans have innate knowledge, then strong AI enterprise is very likely to fail. This knowledge cannot be implemented in a computer. Very difficult to learn about innate knowledge Easier to put a simple learning program Concepts of the imagination: the unicorn How did we acquire the concept of the unicorn? Rationalist: the concept was already in us (innate). Challenge to empiricism: we cannot have learned the concept from our senses since unicorns dont exist. Reply: the principle of interpolation (ability to combine concepts, e.g. horse + horn) is innate. Acquisition of scientific knowledge Is scientific knowledge acquired through the senses? Newtons law of gravity Archimedes Principle (Eureka!): A body immersed in a fluid experiences a buoyant force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid Advanced physics How did we acquire knowledge about particles that we cannot see? III - Is language innate? Behaviorism vs. cognitivism Distinction is independent of empiricism vs. rationalism Behaviorism (Skinner) Behavior is explained by the interaction of the individual with his environment It is impossible and pointless to talk about the structure of the mind. Stimulus, response, reinforcement Psychology as the science of overt action (vs. the science of mental events) Cognitivism Behavior is explained by the structure of the mind and its processes. It results from the manipulation of mental symbols. Mental states exist. Mental functions as information processing models Language: innate vs. learned Innate Chomskys Innateness Hypothesis The human brain is programmed at birth in some specific and structured aspects of human language (universal grammar). Creative aspect of language use Childrens ease to learn language without reinforcement Concept of poverty of stimulus (more on this in lectures) Linguistic skills are independent of intelligence levels. What does Putnam say about this? Aphasia (  HYPERLINK "http://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/voice/aphasia.htm" http://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/voice/aphasia.htm ) Language disorder that results from damage to portions of the brain that are responsible for language. The cause of the brain injury is often a stroke. Brocas aphasia Nonfluent aphasia Damage to the frontal lobe of the brain Brocas area: controls the motor aspects of speech. Can usually understand what words mean, but have trouble performing the motor or output aspects of speech. Speak in short, meaningful phrases that are produced with great effort. e.g.: a person with Broca's aphasia may say, "Walk dog" meaning, "I will take the dog for a walk." The same sentence could also mean "You take the dog for a walk," or "The dog walked out of the yard," depending on the circumstances. Individuals with Broca's aphasia often have right-sided weakness or paralysis of the arm and leg because the frontal lobe is also important for body movement. Wernickes aphasia Fluent aphasia Damage to the temporal lobe Long sentences with no meaning, unnecessary words, and even new "words." e.g.: "You know that smoodle pinkered and that I want to get him round and take care of him like you want before," meaning "The dog needs to go out so I will take him for a walk." No body weakness Global aphasia Damage to extensive portions of the language areas of the brain. Severe communication difficulties Very limited ability to speak or comprehend language.

There are several critical periods. Feral children (  HYPERLINK "http://www.feralchildren.com/en/language.php" http://www.feralchildren.com/en/language.php ) Language taught past critical periods Case of Genie: modern-day wild child discovered in 1970 at age 13 Lived in a state of severe sensory and social deprivation (tied to a chair) Was not taught to speak Denied normal human interaction When later taught to speak, exhibited rich semantic (vocabulary) abilities, but limited syntactic abilities. What would Chomsky say? Parameters of grammar were not tuned Children learn very quickly and are endowed at birth with a fundamental grammar that needs to be tuned to the specific language in which they grow up. Tuning is stimulus-based (interaction with other people). Is some part of language learned for Chomsky? Competence vs. performance (Chomsky, 1967) Competence: represented by a grammar, which is a system of rules for pairing semantic and phonetic interpretations. Rules operate over an infinite range. Performance: what people actually say (including creative sentences and non-grammatical sentences) Vast differences in intelligence have only small effects on resulting competence.
