Is the dynamical hypothesis falsifiable? On unification in theories of cognition
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 21 (5):647-648 (1998)
| Abstract | The dynamical hypothesis is strong in that, for it to be true, every cognitive phenomenon must be best modeled by a dynamical system. Depending on how it is interpreted, however, the hypothesis may be seen as probably false or even unfalsifiable. Strengthening the hypothesis to require unification, or at least coherence, across models in different cognitive domains alleviates this problem. | |||||||||
