PSY312H1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 8: Implicature, Metamemory, New Approach
Document Summary
Autopoetic: self-making (as opposed to self-organizing) embodied approach emphasizes this. Many self-organizing processes are regulated by some kind of virtual engine; self-making systems are self-organizing such that their structure functions to afford them to seek out conditions that promote and protect their self-organization. E. g. a tornado is self-organizing but is not a seeking system in any important way, will cross over terrains that cause it to abate; organisms are self-making (seek out conditions that will help them survive, etc. ) Exaptation both bottom-up and top-down processes at work. New approach where the line between development and function is erased (vervaeke, Lillicrap, richards): term for old framework: logic machine cleanly separates development from function, new framework: logos multi-machine. Did have a process theory (equilibration, opponent processing) but no significant analysis, don"t really understand the components of it (from. Practically: amount of information that you store per amount of time devoted to it very poor (inefficient strategy)
