ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the aims on empirical, theoretical, and analytic work from all areas of interest in cognitive science, such as artificial intelligence, education, linguistics, neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, and anthropology presented in European Cognitive Science Conference. It focuses on interdisciplinary work that is either of interest for more than one of the research areas mentioned or integrates research methods from different fields. With contributions by cognitive scientists from 20 different countries, the chapter reflects the origins of this conference, as well as its international scope. Two studies investigate information about object's motion in adults' concepts with a classical paradigm, the feature production task. The aim is to verify which characteristics of motion, such as self-induction, are differentially distributed in the various ontological kinds and sub-kinds of concepts. Overall, three parameters which organize information about object's motion emerge from this study. The most important parameter, is the ability to produce a displacement.
