Recipient design in human communication: simple heuristics or perspective taking? (2012, background): “…difficulties in devising computational mechanisms for context-sensitive processes (such as perspective taking) that are computationally tractable—i.e., that can scale from toy domains to real-world situations in terms of computational speed (Pylyshyn, 1987; Haselager, 1997; Dreyfus, 2007).”
Economic Opportunity and Evolution: Beyond Landscapes and Bounded Rationality (2013, methodology): “As we will 8 For a broader conception of the frame problem, see Dreyfus, 2007.”
Machine intelligence (2009, background): “Even in the subsequent but closely associated cognitive science programmes, serious doubt has been cast on the idea that thought is systematically and sequentially processed [6, 35], let alone the presumption that these processes occur solely in the brain [5, 14].”
A Rich Landscape of Affordances (2014, background): “35 characterize and account for context remains a central, unsolved problem in cognitive science (Haselager & Van Rappard, 1998; Wheeler, 2005; Barrett, Mesquita & Smith, 2010; Dreyfus, 2008).”
CREATIVE COMBINATION OF REPRESENTATIONS: SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY AND TECHNOLOGICAL INVENTION (2010, background): “…cognitive science” that draws on a combination of Heideggerian philosophy, Gibsonian psychology, and dynamic systems theory to propose an alternative to the dominant computational-representational view of thinking (see e.g. Chemero, 2009; Clark, 1997; Dreyfus, 2007; Thompson, 2007; Warren, 2006).”
Enactive artificial intelligence: Investigating the systemic organization of life and mind (2009, methodology): “This second part will unfold in three stages: (i) a critical analysis of Dreyfus’ (2007) arguments for the “failure” of embodied AI, (ii) a review of the reasons for holding that a closed sensorimotor loop is necessary but not sufficient to solve the problem of meaning in AI, and (iii) a defense of…”
The psychology of memory, extended cognition, and socially distributed remembering (2010, background): “…of distributed and extended cognition are in turn sometimes criticised by more extreme anti-cognitivists for " not proposing that the very idea of cognition is itself a mistake, " and because we do " not renounce cognitive science " (Button 2008, pp. 88–89; compare Malafouris 2004, Dreyfus 2007).”
