is through a system of implicit reference termed deictic, whereby pointing movements are used to bind objects in the world to cognitive programs. We show how deictic bindings enable the solution of natural tasks and argue that one of the central features of cognition, working memory, can be related to moment

is that at time scales of about 1 ⁄3 of a second, the natural sequentiality of body movements can be matched to the natural computational economies of sequential decision systems through a system of implicit reference called deictic in which pointing movements are used to bind objects in the world to cognitive

is provided by spatial and object-centered attention that leads to the formation of objectfiles through the function of deictic acts. This entire causal process takes place at a pre-conceptual level, meeting the requirement for a solution to the grounding problem. Finally we claim that our account captures

Like many Tibeto-Burman languages of the Himalaya, Tamang (ISO-639 code: taj) displays features of an “environmental ” demonstrative and spatial deictic system

sensory-motor agents, which interact and evolve in an environment filled with objects they can identify. We show how these agents may converge on a common phonological code for communication. This enables us to validate our assumptions and suggest probabilistic models of language origins theories. 1

We are interested in a functional account of how capacity constrains memory use in natural, ongoing behaviors, and in how visual memory demands can be reduced through the use of what we have called perceptual pointers, or deictic codes. Here, we ask whether, with experience, participants can

; however, information other than spoken language, like deictic gestures or information conveyed through external representations, such as paper or graphical screen, cannot be taken into account with DAMSL and related coding schemes. The extension proposed provides a methodology to capture deictic

algorithm working on a definite stratum of the reader's knowledge base. In this framework, the uniqueness hypothesis of Russell becomes a guideline to retrieve memorized information. The algorithm accounts for deictic as well as anaphoric referential identifications. Our analysis proposes a unitary

this paper a coding scheme for annotating speech acts in the context of multimodal design tasks is presented. The scheme is an extension of the dialogue act markup in several layers scheme (DAMSL). The proposed annotation scheme augments DAMSL in two different directions: Firstly, utterance
