The reinterpretation hypothesis: Explanation or redescription?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 31 (2):131-132 (2008)
Abstract
Penn et al. propose the relational reinterpretation hypothesis as an explanation of the profound discontinuities that they identify between human and nonhuman cognition. This hypothesis is not a genuine replacement for the explanations that they reject, however, because as it stands, it simply redescribes the phenomena it is trying to explainAuthor's Profile
