Selection: Information and replication of the operant
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 24 (3):556-557 (2001)
| Abstract | Selection as a mode of causation is central to operant psychology. Response variation and selection by consequences corresponds to phenotypic variation, to differential survivability, and to reproduction of variants. In natural selection, genes code for phylogenic history but no analogous processes exists for coding behavioral history. Neuroscience suggests potential processes but the conceptual status of these events requires clarification. | |||||||||
