Abstract | How scientists' tools have shaped theories of mind is explored, focusing on how methods of statistical inference have turned into metaphors of mind. The tools-to-theories heuristic explains emergence of a range of cognitive theories, and can be applied to current approaches that investigate the mind as an intuitive statistician. (SLD) |
