"662","Neoconstructivism: A Unifying Constraint for the Cognitive Sciences","Behavioral scientists studied behavior; cognitive scientists study what generates behavior. Cognitive science is hence theoretical behaviorism (or behaviorism is experimental cognitivism). Behavior is data for a cognitive theorist. What counts as a theory of behavior? In this paper, a methodological constraint on theory construction -- \"neoconstructivism\" -- will be proposed (by analogy with constructivism in mathematics): Cognitive theory must be computable; given an encoding of the input to a behaving system, a theory must be able to compute (an encoding of) its outputs. It is a mistake to conclude, however, that this constraint requires cognitive theory to be computational, or that it follows from this that cognition is computation.","http://cogprints.org/662/","Harnad, Stevan","Simon, T. and Scholes, R.","       <span class=\"person_name\">Harnad, Stevan</span>     (1982)  <a href=\"http://cogprints.org/662/\"><em>Neoconstructivism: A Unifying Constraint for the Cognitive Sciences.</em></a>       [Book Chapter]           ","","1982"
