Abstract
Beyond “Error-Correction”
Highlights
A commentary on Whatever next? Predictive brains, situated agents, and the future of cognitive science by Clark, A
An example is the “Yokoi hand,” a prosthetic hand designed with deformable materials, such as flexible and soft gripping surfaces or artificial tendons arranged in a particular morphological structure (Yokoi et al, 2004)
The morphology of the Yokoi hand carries the burden of coping with a wide range of behavioral challenges, and the need for top-down control, or functions based on expectations, for that matter, reduces dramatically
Summary
A commentary on Whatever next? Predictive brains, situated agents, and the future of cognitive science by Clark, A. (in press). Two areas of research – the synthetic approach to embodied cognition (Pfeifer et al, 2008) and direct learning (Jacobs and Michaels, 2007) – serve to highlight what exclusive attention to error-correction misses. Our view is that perception and action are not reducible to error-correction.
