Top 5 Favorite Papers and Chapters
- J.J. Gibson - A Theory of Direct Visual Perception. The paper that let me see past the computer metaphor for cognition.
- Daniel Dennett - Real Patterns. The most coherent exposition on multiple levels of explanation I have ever read.
- B.F. Skinner - A Functional Analysis of Verbal Behavior. I don't care what anyone else says, this man was on to something big.
- W. Ross Ashby - Principles of the Self-Organizing System. Organization with no organizer - pretty elegant for 1962.
- Niko Tinbergen - On Aims and Methods of Ethology. Why psychology still needs descriptive science.
