Object Permanence as Relational Stability or How to Get Representation from the Dynamics of Embodiment
نویسنده
چکیده
The dynamic systems approach is sometimes embraced in conjunction with causal coupling and in opposition to representation-based explanation. The dynamic systems model of the A-not-B phenomenon (Thelen et al, 2001) supposedly epitomizes this anti-representation alternative. It is argued here that this model fails to capture the crucial effects of body rotation in the A-not-B task and that we need a notion of relational stability to account for these effects. Relational stability outstrips causal coupling but may ground a renewed understanding of object permanence where representation is necessitated by and achieved through the dynamics of embodiment.
