Conceptual combination: Extension and intension: Commentary on aerts, gabora, and sozzo

Abstract

Aerts et al. provide a valuable model to capture the interactive nature of conceptual combination in conjunctions and disjunctions. The commentary provides a brief review of the interpretation of these interactions that has been offered in the literature, and argues for a closer link between the more traditional account in terms of concept intensions, and the parameters that emerge from the fitting of the Quantum Probability model. © 2013 Cognitive Science Society, Inc.
