On Distinguishing Epistemic from Pragmatic Action
- Cognitive Science
, 1994
"... We present data and argument to show that in Tetris-a real-time, interactive video game-certain cognitive and perceptual problems ore more quicktv, easily, and reliably solved by performing actions in the world than by performing com-putational actions in the head atone. We have found that some of t ..."

far from superfluous; they play a valuable role in improving human performance. We argue that traditional accounts are limited because they regard action as having o single function: to change the world. By recognizing a second function of action-an epistemic func-tion-we can explain many
Dispositional versus epistemic causality
- Minds and Machines
, 2006
"... I put forward several desiderata that a philosophical theory of causality should satisfy: it should account for the objectivity of causality, it should underpin formalisms for causal reasoning, it should admit a viable epistemology, it should be able to cope with the great variety of causal claims t ..."

that are made, and it should be ontologically parsimonious. I argue that Nancy Cartwright’s dispositional account of causality goes part way towards meeting these criteria but is lacking in important respects. I go on to argue that my epistemic account, which ties causal relationships to an agent’s knowledge
Epistemic games
- Journal of Online Education
, 2005
"... In an article in this issue of Innovate, Jim Gee asks the question "What would a state of the art instructional video game look like? " Based on the game Full Spectrum Warrior, he concludes that one model is "to pick [a] domain of authentic professionalism well, intelligently select t ..."

" in video game format. Here I would like to give a more detailed account of this idea by looking more closely at the terms "authenticity " and "professionalism. " I begin by connecting these concepts to some of the theories of learning on which they are based: ideas about
Epistemic Dispositions
"... theory of knowledge might do well to appeal to dispositions rather than counterfactuals. (Gundersen 2003 and 2010 makes a similar suggestion, though he prefers a dispositional account of counterfactuals that enables him to retain a conditional tracking analysis.) John Turri (2012) and Ben Bronner (2 ..."

AN EPISTEMIC STRUCTURALIST ACCOUNT OF MATHEMATICAL KNOWLEDGE
, 2003
"... This thesis aims to explain the nature and justification of mathematical knowledge using an epistemic version of mathematical structuralism, that is a hybrid of Aristotelian structuralism and Hellman’s modal structuralism. Structuralism, the theory that mathematical entities are recurring structures ..."
Abstract

. A fundamental benefit of epistemic structuralism is that this account, unlike other accounts, can be integrated into a naturalistic epistemology, as well as being congruent with mathematical practice. In justifying mathematical knowledge, two levels of abstraction are introduced. Abstraction
Iterated Belief Change Based on Epistemic Entrenchment
, 1994
"... In this paper it is argued that, in order to solve the problem of iterated belief change, both the belief state and its input should be represented as epistemic entrenchment (EE) relations. A belief revision operation is constructed that updates a given EE relation to a new one in light of an eviden ..."

Epistemic action increases with skill
- In Proceedings of the Eighteenth Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science Society
, 1996
"... On most accounts of expertise, as agents increase their skill, they are assumed to make fewer mistakes and to take fewer redundant or backtracking actions. Contrary to such accounts, in this paper we present data collected from people learning to play the videogame Tetris which show that as skill in ..."

An Epistemic Formulation of Information Flow Security
"... The non-interference (NI) property defines a program to be secure if changes to high-security inputs cannot alter the values of low-security outputs. NI indirectly states the epistemic property that no low-security principal acquires knowledge of high-security data. We consider a directly epistemic ..."

-acterized using a substructural epistemic logic that accounts for the knowledge transferred through their execution. We prove that a low-security principal never acquires knowledge of a high-security input by executing a well-typed program. The epistemic approach has several advantages over NI. First, it directly
An Epistemic Formulation of Information Flow Analysis
"... Abstract—Most accounts of information flow security in programming languages emphasize non-interference to characterize security: in a secure program, changes to high-security inputs do not alter the values of low-security outputs. The definition of non-interference is incompatible with declassifica ..."

with declassification, which allows some low-security outputs to be influenced by high-security inputs. We propose an alternative account of information flow based on an epistemic logic of computational effects. Rather than view a program as a function from inputs to outputs, we instead embrace the principle
