title: Information processing and dynamical systems approaches are complementary creator: Spurrett, Dr David subject: Dynamical Systems subject: Animal Cognition subject: Psycholinguistics subject: Behavioral & Brain Sciences description: Shanker and King trumpet the adoption of a ‘new paradigm’ in communication studies, exemplified by Ape Language Research. While cautiously sympathetic, I maintain that their argument relies on a false dichotomy between ‘information’ and ‘dynamical systems’ theory, and that the resulting confusion prevents them from seeing and taking the main chance their line of thinking suggests. date: 2002 type: Preprint type: NonPeerReviewed format: text/html identifier: http://cogprints.org/3085/1/shanker.htm identifier: Spurrett, Dr David (2002) Information processing and dynamical systems approaches are complementary.
