Threat simulation, dreams, and domain-specificity
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 23 (6):1004-1004 (2000)
| Abstract | According to Revonsuo, dreams are the output of a evolved “threat simulation mechanism.” The author marshals a diverse and comprehensive array of empirical and theoretical support for this hypothesis. We propose that the hypothesized threat simulation mechanism might be more domain-specific in design than the author implies. To illustrate, we discuss the possible sex-differentiated design of the hypothesized threat simulation mechanism. [Revonsuo]. | |||||||||
