Radical empiricism is not constructive
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 20 (4):563-564 (1997)
| Abstract | The radical empiricist theory of the Quartz & Sejnowski target article would result in a brain that could not act. The attempt to bolster this position with computational arguments is misleading and often just wrong. Fortunately, other efforts are making progress in linking neural and cognitive development. | |||||||||
