Successful simulation requires bridging levels of abstraction

Zidong Zhao et al. Behav Brain Sci. .

Abstract

Although many simulations draw upon only one level of abstraction, the process for generating rich simulations requires a dynamic interplay between abstract and concrete knowledge. A complete model of simulation must account for a mind and brain that can bridge the perceptual with the conceptual, the episodic with the semantic, and the concrete with the abstract.
