|
1. Exists as it does bc it solved a specific adaptive problem recurrently over evol. history.
2. Is designed to take in only a narrow slice of info 3. Its input tells an organism the particular adaptive problem it is facing 4. Its input is transformed thru decision rules to output. 5. Its output can be a phys. activity, info to the other psych. mechanisms, or behavior. 6. Its output is directed toward the solution to a specific adaptive problem. |

Learning and EPMs
|
Learning requires both environmental input and EMPs
|
|
|
