I’ve been working on an essay but as I tried to avoid being misunderstood, it kept expanding until it became what is now a full paper draft. It starts off with a simple but unsettling question: what makes psychotherapy psychotherapy? 1/n www.yunus-sahin.com/radically-em...

In her talk we will explore recent advances in neurolinguistics and psycholinguistics, focusing on how the brain processes linguistic structure and statistical regularities. For more info and regsitration: cog-ist.com/etkinlik-duy...

It can sometimes be difficult for a person or an organization to evaluate their own work from an outside perspective, especially as time goes by. Would you help us see our strengths and weaknesses? :) cog-ist.com/en/geri-bild...

They hanged the people who got us the 8-hour workday.

It's somewhat common to attribute 'anticipation' to systems relying on dynamical systems theory and complexity theory, and later even grounding representationality on this basis.

It's not that an important discussion, but for instance, in a footnote in Clark Glymour's book The Mind's Arrow, he refers to Carnap as 'actually the first cognitive scientist' because he used formal mathematical tools to explain how the mind structures and represents data from the external world.

I was already feeling somewhat unease with the interventionist accounts of causation for a while now that I couldn’t quite pin down. It’s precisely because of that, somewhere in the thesis, I felt the need to drop a note saying ‘compatible with interventionist theories, but doesn’t entail them’.

I wonder if the new mechanists, had they named it something like "New Structuralism" without any reference to 'mechanism', and said exactly the same things, would the dynamicists today be raising the same criticisms they voice?

It's funny to me that this has basically led to a search for "is there a culture group that does not do this?" and so far the answer seems genuinely to be "no".

I've read this for a class. Great paper. physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/...

'Learning' out 'adaptive flexibility' in.

If psychotherapy were being constructed today rather than 100-150 years ago, a concept like the 'therapeutic relationship' would not be at its core. This is because the concept is open to both theoretical and practical abuse.

Genocentric biology appeals to such 'long-distance causal' relationships, and is so reliant on teleological concepts like coding, storage, information, content, etc., that it is not theoretically more 'robust' than the holistic approaches or vitalism it opposes.

In the philosophy of mind, we often see functionalists claim that they differ from vitalists. This is incorrect. From the early to mid-20th century, some 'neo-vitalists' argued that life possesses a fundamentally distinct essence +

We’ve now completed six years on this journey that began with the goal of bringing cognitive scientists together and introducing cognitive science to broader audiences. 1/n

Some familiar names...

I think this is just pure causality and mechanistic. No need to mention 'meaning' or 'semiosis.'

Yes, but early Maturana did this without any meaning-laden / semiotic assumptions.

Nice.

Saw a psychological study which claimed that people often show attraction for one another by initiating physical contact through means such as kissing. Reckon that one's safe from the replication crisis, at least.

The best title that a book on philosophy of biology can have
