Abstract: © Mind Association 2005 Mind, Vol. 114 . 455 . July 2005 actions, and if, for example, the side-effects were not part of the intentions, then should something untoward happen and the agent need to revise his plan, the intentions could not perform the very guidance role for which they are required. To be sure, such information must be in some way encoded and retained by the agent for possible use. But it seems to me that there is no reason why this information must be retained at the personal level at all; it may be hard-wired in, and be potentially accessible to the agent in certain circumstances. But if intentions are to be placed at the personal level, there is then no argument for over-inflating the size of intentions themselves to contain such information. The song says that Casey’s mind was so loaded that it nearly exploded. Enç’s account of action seems to me to have Casey’s problem.

TL;DR: The neuroscientific evidence strongly suggests that cooperative behavior is a real phenomenon motivated by the elicitation of context-sensitive emotional systems that primarily operate in situations of a moral character, but it is also necessary to approach the new field of cognitive neuroscience with caution.

Species of emergence
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the criteria used to state that something is emergent and the different interpretations of those criteria and argue similarly to Philip Clayton that there are three broad ranges of interpretation of emergence: reductive, non-reductive, and radical.

Monetary Incentives: Usually Neither Necessary Nor Sufficient?
Andreas Ortmann,Ralph Hertwig +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors call for an empirical analysis of the impact of monetary incentives on experimental work and suggest that monetary incentives may not be a good fit for most experimental work in behavioral and brain sciences.
Methodological developments in geophysical assimilation modeling
TL;DR: It is argued that an assimilation solution based on epistemic cognition could lead to more realistic representations of the geophysical situation than a conventional ontologicAssimilation solution (which assumes that the model describes nature as is and focuses on form manipulations).
