Reasoning, robots, and navigation: Dual roles for deductive and abductive reasoning
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 34 (2):92-92 (2011)
Abstract
Mercier & Sperber (M&S) argue for their argumentative theory in terms of communicative abilities. Insights can be gained by extending the discussion beyond human reasoning to rodent and robot navigation. The selection of arguments and conclusions that are mutually reinforcing can be cast as a form of abductive reasoning that I argue underlies the construction of cognitive maps in navigation tasksLinks
