Document Summary
Think back to chapter 1 the rat studies, chomsky"s theories about language, and lachley"s discussion on complex behaviour, turing, miller. What about any of these that pushes the boundaries of behaviourism: behaviourism is the theory that you can describe cognition by looking at behaviour (stimuli and reactions) algorithmic and there are rules. Latent learning (3rd group of rats learned pretty quick as soon as they got a reward). We have mental maps (from the rat studies) learning without reinforcements. Location representation/the layout of the map: rat studies they found latent learning, which showed that rats were, rat studies and chomsky"s theories propose that learning is more, chomsky underlying structure to language. If we have rules in our heads, then behaviourism can"t describe structure that behaviourism can"t explain. There are rules that are producing everything to do with cognition and behaviour.
