I get similar impression with Cliff.
Though their descriptions are not really "wrong", I don't like the
approach --- they introduce too many "artificial" concepts to cut the
categorization process into pieces. For example, the first sentence in
abstract:
Conceptual integration-"blending"-is a general cognitive operation on a
par with analogy,
recursion, mental modeling, conceptual categorization, and framing.
It's sort of funny to see these concepts putting together as a group. Is
the mind a toolbox? At least from an AGI pint of view, such an approach is
undesired. To me, a common problem in AI and CogSci is to build a separate
theory/model for each cognitive phenomenon in isolation, ignoring the
possibility that all of them may be products of the same process under
different situation.
On similar topics, I recommend the writings of Hofstadter and Lakoff.
