ABSTRACT
Conceptual representations go hand in hand with the conceptualization process. Conceptual representations are internal representations; that is, they are particular to an individual. A key factor for understanding conceptual representations is the dynamic character of representations. The representations used by the conceptualization task are always internal representations of external states of affairs. The set of ongoing situations is important, because for these situations, the temporal relations are established that are added to the conceptual representation. The discourse memory is represented as path through the conceptual representation that is represented as a referential net. A key factor for understanding conceptual representations is the dynamic character of representations. Formulated more strongly: Representations must be dynamic if they are to account for cognition. The traditional view on representations, however, is static, disembodied, and context independent.
