Isi artikel

Over the past ten years or so, the language of dynamic systems has become increasingly important for understanding cognitive and neural processes, both in the moment and over development (e.g. Kelso 1995; Port and van Gelder 1995; Skarda and Freeman 1987; Thatcher 1998; Thelen and Smith 1994; Varela, Thompson and Rosch 1991). According to the dynamic systems (DS) approach, cognition builds on itself, biasing its own outcomes and growing in coherence and complexity. This process is often called self-organization, de?ned as the emergence of novel structures or levels of organization resulting from the spontaneous synchronization of lower-order elements. At the psychological level of description, self-organizing cognitive wholes emerge from the synchronization of lower-order components, such as associations, expectancies, propositions, percepts, schemas and memories. At the biological level, these abstract entities are translated into populations of neurones and neural assemblies that become rapidly synchronized through electrochemical activities.
