Within the theoretical framework of dynamical systems, we design localist attractor networks to simulate our data. Our findings reveal two main properties of human cognition: 1) continuos processing and graded representations in mapping sensory input to motor output, and 2) rapid interaction beteween visual and linguistic processes.
