Rules and similarity – a false dichotomy
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 28 (1):26-26 (2005)
| Abstract | Unless restricted to explicitly held, sharable beliefs that control and justify a person's behavior, the notion of a rule has little value as an explanatory concept. Similarity-based processing is a general characteristic of the mind-world interface where internal processes (including explicitly represented rules) act on the external world. The distinction between rules and similarity is therefore misconceived. | |||||||||
