ON THE ECOLOGICAL THEORY OF CONCEPTS

Abstract

An ecological approach to the study of concepts allows investigating complex mental processes. Concepts and categories do not represent the world in the mind of a person, but they actively participate in the generation of meaning, being a part of the global semantic network. Concepts do not have a fixed representation structure. The contexts in which the concepts are actualized influence dynamically their structure, states and properties.
