Information, representation, and the dynamic systems approach to language
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 25 (5):640-641 (2002)
| Abstract | Shanker & King (S&K) provide a criticism of information-theoretic approaches to language, but the real obstacle to their dynamicist approach is the argument that representations are an indispensable part of any cognitive theory. Since the dynamicist approach has a prima facie anti-representationalist bent, the authors must show why dynamicist views can provide adequate explanations of intelligent behavior. | |||||||||
