Game theory can build higher mental processes from lower ones
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 30 (1):16-18 (2007)
| Abstract | The question of reductionism is an obstacle to unification. Many behavioral scientists who study the more complex or higher mental functions avoid regarding them as selected by motivation. Game-theoretic models in which complex processes grow from the strategic interaction of elementary reward-seeking processes can overcome the mechanical feel of earlier reward-based models. Three examples are briefly described. (Published Online April 27 2007). | |||||||||
