Apparently sophisticated behaviour during problem-solving is often the product of simple underlying mechanisms, such as associative
learning or the use of procedural rules. These and other more parsimonious explanations need to be eliminated before higher-level
cognitive processes such as causal reasoning or planning can be inferred. We presented three Bornean orangutans with 64 trial-unique
configurations of a puzzle-tube to investigate whether they were able to consider multiple obstacles in two alternative paths,
and subsequently choose the correct direction in which to move a reward in order to retrieve it. We were particularly interested
in how subjects attempted to solve the task, namely which behavioural strategies they could have been using, as this is how we may
begin to elucidate the cognitive mechanisms underpinning their choices. To explore this, we simulated performance outcomes
across the 64 trials for various procedural rules and rule combinations that subjects may have been using based on the configuration
of different obstacles. Two of the three subjects solved the task, suggesting that they were able to consider at least some
of the obstacles in the puzzle-tube before executing action to retrieve the reward. This is impressive compared with the past
performances of great apes on similar, arguably less complex tasks. Successful subjects may have been using a heuristic rule
combination based on what they deemed to be the most relevant cue (the configuration of the puzzle-tube ends), which may be
a cognitively economical strategy. 相似文献

Though Socrates can easily look like a cosmopolitan in moral and political theory, a closer reading of the relevant texts shows that, in the most important sense of the term as we now use it, he turns out – disappointingly, perhaps – not to be. The reasons why not are instructive and important, both for readers of Plato and for political theorists; they have to do with the phenomenon that I shall call ethical blind-spots . 相似文献

Although numerous studies have attempted to understand the causes of various forms of police misconduct, there is still no clear theoretical explanation of police misbehavior. Akers’ social learning theory posits that peer associations, attitudes, reinforcement, and modeling are predictors of delinquency and crime in general. With this article, we seek to determine if the theory can account for police deviance. Data from a random sample of Philadelphia police officers are used to examine how officer attitudes and perceptions of peer behavior are related to citizen complaints of police misconduct. Findings suggest that social learning theory provides a useful explanation of police misconduct. 相似文献

Developing a British perspective on the abortion debate, I take up some ideas from Patrick Lee's fine paper, and pursue, in particular, the idea of individual humans as goods in themselves. I argue that this notion helps us to avoid the familiar mistake of making moral value impersonal. It also shows us the way out of consequentalism. Since the most philosophically viable notion of the person, the individual human, is (as Lee argues) a notion of individual substance that is there from conception, the move has a third effect, which is to rule out abortion. 相似文献
