Why computation need not be traded only for internal representation
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 20 (1):80-81 (1997)
| Abstract | Although Clark & Thornton's “trading spaces” hypothesis is supposed to require trading internal representation for computation, it is not used consistently in that fashion. Not only do some of the offered computation-saving strategies turn out to be nonrepresentational, others (e.g., cultural artifacts) are external representations. Hence, C&T's hypothesis is consistent with antirepresentationalism. | |||||||||
