| Abstract |
This tribute is the opportunity for a melancholic return to topics with which we were occupied, Jean-Pierre Barthélemy and myself, during the 90’s at Télécom Bretagne. It is hardly surprising that we focused on the relationship between natural categories and logic, given that Jean-Pierre was trained within the French school of category theory, and that his first papers belonged to the growing field of categorical logic. Analysing the research pursued under his benevolent direction, I will trace the influence of this specific approach to logic and structures. |

| Abstract |
As far as paleolithic cognitive processes are concerned, most studies define their own vocabulary and method, usually using current words while ascribing them various meanings. No debate can hence be fruitfull. We suggest an alternative approach which is to address the numerous and accurate concepts developped since about fourty years by cognitive psychology and especially its experimental branch. Cognitive psychology of goal oriented actions is in fact a powerful tool provider in the attempt to understand and modelize paleolithic men behaviour and cognitive abilities. Here we show why and how it is possible to use these tools initially developped to investigate modern man cognition in the laboratory conditions. We claim that the cognitive psychology method presented in this article allows to draw a rigorous description of mental organization, especially about the complex cognitive process of memory and categorization, whatever human species is dealt with and wathever paleolithic period is concerned. A preliminary result concerning the Magdalenian level of the Tournal cave is produced and discussed. |
