In particular, my focus here will be on how motor representations encode their contents, or what I will call motoric format. I will argue that motor representations exhibit core characteristics of both propositionally-formatted representations (such as sentences in natural language) and analog representations (such as pictures and photographs). If this is right, a number of interesting options present themselves regarding how motor representations are ultimately structured. I close by outlining three of these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Speaker:<\/strong> Myrto Mylopoulos<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bio:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Myrto Mylopoulos is an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy and Department of Cognitive Science at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada.
