Skull-bound perception and precision optimization through culture
Bryan K. Paton, Joshua Skewes, Chris Frith, Jakob Hohwy · Behavioral and Brain Sciences · 2013
Clark acknowledges but resists the indirect mind-world relation inherent in prediction error minimization (PEM). But directness should also be resisted. This creates a puzzle, which calls for reconceptualization of the relation. We suggest that a causal conception captures both aspects. With this conception, aspects of situated cognition, social interaction and culture can be understood as emerging through precision optimization.
