Don't throw out the Bayes with the bathwater
Philip M. Fernbach, Steven A. Sloman · Behavioral and Brain Sciences · 2011
Abstract We highlight one way in which Jones & Love (J&L) misconstrue the Bayesian program: Bayesian models do not represent a rejection of mechanism. This mischaracterization obscures the valid criticisms in their article. We conclude that computational-level Bayesian modeling should not be rejected or discouraged a priori, but should be held to the same empirical standards as other models.
