Abstract

BELTRAN VEGA, Felipe. Perception and causation: notes for the construction of a critique of the theory of conceptual integration of Fauconnier and Turner. Hallazgos [online]. 2014, vol.11, n.21, pp.45-58. ISSN 1794-3841.  https://doi.org/10.15332/s1794-3841.2014.0021.02.

The main questions concerning the binding in experience of the diverse aspects of vision (color, shape, movement, etc.) that are processed in different and distant cortical areas of the human brain, find a possible answer in Gilles Fauconnier and Mark Turner's proposal about conceptual integration as the main cognitive operation behind human reasoning. Such a possible answer reveals upon analysis, which are some of the limits that the authors' proposal should appoint.

Keywords : conceptual integration; perceptual binding; visual perception; cognition; sense-giving.
