Pulling the trigger on the living kind module
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 21 (4):592-592 (1998)
| Abstract | Atran conjectures that a triggering algorithm for a living- kind module could involve inputs from other modules that detect animacy and intentionality. Here we further speculate about how algorithms for detecting specific intentions could be used to trigger between- or within-species categorization. Such categorization may be adaptively important in Eldredge's energy and information realms. | |||||||||
