Encodingism is not just a bad metaphor
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 42 (2019)
Abstract
Brette's criticism of the coding metaphor focuses on its presence in neurosciences. We argue that this problematic view, which we call “encodingism,” is pernicious in any model of cognition that adopts it. We discuss some of the more specific problems it begets and then elaborate on Brette's action-based alternative to the coding framework.Author Profiles
