Information processing and dynamical systems approaches are complementary
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 25 (5):639-640 (2002)
| Abstract | Shanker & King (S&K) trumpet the adoption of a “new paradigm” in communication studies, exemplified by ape language research. Though cautiously sympathetic, I maintain that their argument relies on a false dichotomy between “information” and “dynamical systems” theory, and that the resulting confusion prevents them from recognizing the main chance their line of thinking suggests. | |||||||||
