asperger therapy

Post Reply New Topic

hi i`m 23 aspie from Poland, i write my therapy program ww.asperger.fora.pl/forum-otwarte-dla-kazdego,6/autoterapia,2348.html (only in polish), mayby someone from this forum can translate it to english? (my english isn`t very well)

huh my therapy based on math theory:
we have set of functions for example:
{
y=x+5
y=x-3
y=x*x
y=x*x*x
}

and we get a 2 numbers for example
(x=1, y=-2) it`s math to y=x-3
(x=1, y=1) it`s math to y=x*x and y=x*x*x

that theory can describe social mechanism, we have set (array) that consider archetypes of human behavior
and we get words form nt an we must math these words to archetypes

i have many other conception, that provide better life (in polish)

Could you check your URL?

sorry i`m new in forum, so i can write full adres, i cut one "w"...

HERE IS A FIRST TRY:

Are you trying to translate your comments? Do you have comments for your code?



I'm not sure what you mean by "therapy", are you talking about some kind of a semantic translator, to aid in communications training?

I'm not sure what you mean by "math" theory. Do you mean an "algorithm"? A sequence of steps in a program that involves some computation and math?

Elsewhere it seems maybe you are talking about "match", not "math". Is this a matching algorithm?

Your use of terminology is incorrect where you describe your code above. You are using the terminology out of a math book but you don't talk about computer programs like that. What you have there is not a set of "functions". "Functions" in computer talk are a set of executable code statements that can be fetched from memory and executed (usually more than once) that is a part of a larger program.

What you have above is not a function but a set of statements in a block. Without knowing what computer language you are programming in (BASIC, C), it's hard to say what the above might do. If these are the statements in a function, in some computer languages, your function would not do anything because you are not returning a value.



I can't tell what your program is supposed to accomplish. It looks as if you are trying to identify the set of operations that can produce a given y value from a given x value.

"System identification" == you are trying to find what system (or systems) produces the output you observe (y) from a particular input value (x).



OKAY, HERE'S MY FIRST TRY TO GIVE YOU SOME WORDS TO DESCRIBE YOUR PROGRAM:

You are trying to match the words of NTs to the human behavior models that might result in those two words being spoken.

You refer to the human behavior models as "archetypes", and references to the archetypes are stored in an array (an associative array?)

This is a kind of a "system identification" program. (If you use adaptive algorithms, this will really be a system identification program).

You observe the words. Match the words to the behavior archetypes.

You're program is a kind of artificial semantic mapper.

This is what Asperger people do in their minds. We try to infer what behavior is responsible for the things people say, because we don't understand their behavior intuitively.

Good luck.

You can go to the Babelfish website if you need to translate something into English.

lost in translation.... its very hard to say in polish, in english i can`t, i`m student of Robotics, i have "systems theory", and my hobby is psychoterapy, i observe nt and i create me own therapy...

when i go to doctor Gardziel (in Poland one of the best specialist of autysim) they say i`m "mild aperger" and they had not in his work pacient like me...

and i trying translate "base idea "

ps when write words in thing "sets of words" (in polish zdania), i tray to analyze these words and i tray analyze "superego" ? selfhood? (podswiadomosc in polish)

i can`t say antything more (in english)

That is very interesting and creative. Programming your own therapy!

There are many English courses online. Maybe you can listen to them, practice English, and then come here to talk about Asperger and read information here.

Then you won't have to write your own therapy program. Just talk to people. There are parts of this website where people go to talk to each other about special subjects in their lives.

i learn english hmmm 10 years, <wall> i`m very good in math, but in english....

my theraphy learn how to create "mind teory" algortim... how to know games that play nt (social games)

I am interested in something similar, but not to make a program. To make theories.

Instead of operating on NUMBERS, you operate on SYMBOLS and the SYMBOLS are THOUGHT UNITS

It is called "Computational Theory of Mind"

Computational theory of mind from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In philosophy, the computational theory of mind is the view that the human mind is best conceived as an information processing system and that thought is a form of computation. The theory was proposed in its modern form by Hilary Putnam in 1961 and developed by Jerry Fodor in the 60s and 70s.[1] This view is common in modern cognitive psychology and is presumed by theorists of evolutionary psychology.

The computational theory of mind is a philosophical concept that the mind functions as a computer or symbol manipulator. The theory is that the mind computes input from the natural world to create outputs in the form of further mental or physical states. A computation is the process of taking input and following a step by step algorithm to get a specific output. The computational theory of mind claims that there are certain aspects of the mind that follow step by step processes to compute representations of the world, however this theory does not claim that computation is sufficient for thought.

The computational theory of mind requires representation because 'input' into a computation comes in the form of symbols or representations of other objects. A computer cannot compute an actual object, it must interpret and represent the object in some form and then compute the representation. The computational theory of mind is related to the representational theory of mind in that they both require that mental states are representations. However the two theories differ in that the representational theory claims that all mental states are representations while the computational theory leaves open that certain mental states, such as pain or depression, may not be representational and therefore may not be suitable for a computational treatment. These non-representational mental states are known as qualia. The computational theory of mind is also related to the language of thought. The language of thought theory allows the mind to process more complex representations with the help of semantics. (See below in semantics of mental states).

Computational theory of mind is not the same as the computer metaphor, according to which the mind literally works like a computer.[2] Computational theory just uses some of the same principles as those found in digital computing.[2]
'Computer' is not meant to mean a modern day electronic computer. Rather a computer is a symbol manipulator that follows step by step functions to compute input and form output. Alan Turing describes this type of computer in his concept of a Turing Machine.

Causal picture of thoughts

At the heart of the Computational Theory of Mind is the idea that thoughts are a form of computation, and a computation is by definition a systematic set of laws for the relations among representations. Meaning that a mental state represents something if and only if there is some causal correlation between the mental state and that particular thing. An example would be seeing dark clouds and thinking “clouds mean rain”, there is a correlation between the thought of the clouds and rain, as the clouds causing rain. This is known as Natural Meaning. Conversely, there is another side to the causality of thoughts and that is the non-natural representation of thoughts. An example would be seeing a red traffic light and thinking “red means stop”, there is nothing about the color red that indicates it represents stopping, and thus is just a convention that has been invented, similar to languages and their abilities to form representations.

Semantics of mental states

The computational theory of mind states that the mind functions as a symbolic operator, and that mental representations are symbolic representations; just as the semantics of language are the features of words and sentences that relate to their meaning, the semantics of mental states are those meanings of representations, the definitions of the ‘words’ of the language of thought. If these basic mental states can have a particular meaning just as words in a language do, then this means that more complex mental states (thoughts) can be created, even if they have never been encountered before. Just as new sentences that are read can be understood even if they have never been encountered before, as long as the basic components are understood, and it is syntactically correct. For example: “I have eaten plum pudding every day of this fortnight.” While it's doubtful many have seen this particular configuration of words, nonetheless most readers should be able to glean an understanding of this sentence because it is syntactically correct and the constituent parts are understood.
