Cognitive science has empirical evidence that proves that the sensorimotor neural system that controls the movement of the body and controls the senses has the capacity to conceptualize and to infer. In other words, the neural system required to allow a creature to move and survive in space has the capacity to reason. This is a capacity that exists and it is reasonable to assume that biology would not duplicate this for the capacity to reason since it already existed..

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
