A Mechanistic Account of Computational Explanation in Cognitive Science
نویسنده
چکیده
Explanations in cognitive science rely predominantly on computational modeling. Though the scientific practice is systematic, and there is little doubt about the empirical value of numerous models, the methodological account of computational explanation is not up-to-date. The current paper offers a systematic account of computational explanation in cognitive science in a largely mechanistic framework. The account is illustrated with a short case study of modeling of the mirror neuron system in terms of predictive coding.

Dynamic mechanistic explanation: computational modeling of circadian rhythms as an exemplar for cognitive science.
We consider computational modeling in two fields: chronobiology and cognitive science. In circadian rhythm models, variables generally correspond to properties of parts and operations of the responsible mechanism. A computational model of this complex mechanism is grounded in empirical discoveries and contributes a more refined understanding of the dynamics of its behavior. In cognitive science...
متن کاملThe causal structure of mechanisms.
Recently, a number of philosophers of science have claimed that much explanation in the sciences, especially in the biomedical and social sciences, is mechanistic explanation. I argue the account of mechanistic explanation provided in this tradition has not been entirely satisfactory, as it has neglected to describe in complete detail the crucial causal structure of mechanistic explanation. I s...
متن کاملOn The Scope of Mechanistic Explanation in Cognitive Sciences
Computational explanations focus on information processing tasks of specific cognitive capacities. In this paper, we argue that there are at least two different kinds of computational explanations; the interlevel and the intralevel ones. Moreover, it will be argued that neither interlevel nor intralevel computational explanations can be subsumed under the banner of standard mechanistic explanat...

A long history of research has revealed many neurophysiological changes and concomitant behavioral impacts of sleep deprivation, sleep restriction, and circadian rhythms. Little research, however, has been conducted in the area of computational cognitive modeling to understand the information processing mechanisms through which neurobehavioral factors operate to produce degradations in human pe...
متن کاملTo appear in Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A Dynamic Mechanistic Explanation: Computational Modeling of Circadian Rhythms as an Exemplar for Cognitive Science
Two widely accepted assumptions within cognitive science are that (1) the goal is to understand the mechanisms responsible for cognitive performances and (2) computational modeling is a major tool for understanding these mechanisms. The particular approaches to computational modeling adopted in cognitive science, moreover, have significantly affected the way in which cognitive mechanisms are un...
