Modeling Cognitive Representations with Evolutionary Game Theory - a podcast by MCMP Team

Marc Artiga (MCMP) gives a talk at the MCMP Colloquium (7 May, 2015) titled "Modeling Cognitive Representations with Evolutionary Game Theory". Abstract: Cognitive science has been developed on the idea that cognitive systems are representational. Recently, however, some people have challenged this idea. The goal of this talk is to provide some mathematical tools for resolving this question. More precisely, I will defend two claims. First, I will argue that Evolutionary Game Theory can help us establish which states are representations. Secondly, I will defend that this strategy can be used to show that perceptual states (among others) are indeed representational.
