Is cultivating “biological blindness” a viable route to understanding behavioral phenomena?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 April 2009
Abstract
Mitchell et al. propose that associative learning in humans and other animals requires the formation of propositions by means of conscious and controlled reasoning. This approach neglects important aspects of current thinking in evolutionary biology and neuroscience that support the claim that learning, here exemplified by fear learning, neither needs to be conscious nor controlled.
