A young, white forehead boring through the darkness. An eleven-yearold girl. Siss. It was really only a?ernoon, but already dark. A hard frost in late autumn.

Research on concepts has concentrated on the way people apply concepts online, when presented with a stimulus. Just as important, however, is the use of concepts offline, when planning what to do or thinking about what is the case. There is strong evidence that inferences driven by conceptual thought draw heavily on special-purpose resources: sensory, motoric, affective, and evaluative. At the …
