GAVILLON, Póti; BAUM, Carlos  e  MARASCHIN, Cleci. From models to politics: The role of representation in Cognitive Sciences. Estud. psicol. (Natal) [online]. 2017, vol.22, n.2, pp.144-151. ISSN 1413-294X.  https://doi.org/10.22491/1678-4669.20170015.

In this paper we discuss the different roles that representation can play in scientific productions related to studies of cognition. Our analysis is produced from the contrast created between the production of models of information processing, common goal of experimental research in cognitive psychology; and the construction of cognitive politics (Kastrup, 1999). We start from the distinction between strong representation, where the relationship between subject and object is given from the internal reconstruction of the later by the former; and weak representation indicating only a reference - not necessarily a match - between subject and object (Varela et al., 2003). We seek to point out that the way the representation is thought defines the way cognition is explained and those explanations, in turn, contribute to define the modes of existence of cognition in the world.

Palavras-chave : models; cognitive politics; representation; objectivity; cognition.
