Hampton, J. A. (2014). Conceptual combination: Extension and intension. Commentary on aerts, gabora, and sozzo. Topics in Cognitive Science, 6(1), pp. 53-57. doi: 10.1111/tops.12069

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.
