Distal similarity, shape referents, subjective world, and redundancy
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 21 (4):470-470 (1998)
| Abstract | The concept of distal similarity that plays a crucial role in Edelman's theory of representation is called into question in this commentary on theoretical as well as empirical grounds. A possible confusion between shape and (knowledge of) its referent, the problem of the subjective world, redundancy, and large individual differences in subjective space encountered in contrived universes are discussed. | |||||||||
