🧠🚨 How does the hippocampus transform the visual similarity space to resolve memory interference?

In this new preprint, we found that the hippocampus sequentially inverts the behaviorally relevant dimensions of similarity 🧵

Skinner as quoted by Chomsky 71’ p. 4 (link in earlier responses)

This week we are reading Chomsky’s
A Case Against B. F. Skinner
Next (and once I’ve located it) we will read Skinner’s Beyond Freedom and Dignity (which is being critiqued)

‘..Evolutionary biology field refutes the idea of any such shock-absorption mechanisms. Modern histochemistry techniques have provided cellular evidence of brain injury in both bovids and woodpeckers, and yet biomimicry research continues to seek inspiration for brain protection from these animals.’

It was hyperbolic of me to say Skinner was only interested in behavior. He was interested in the psychological processes which governed how input governed behavior too. This was, in his own words, at the exchange of the consideration of other internal psychological processes being studied.

“Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster...For when you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.”

Actually the section of the essay I was thinking of is Chomsky quoting Skinner directly…I will share that quote with you when I have time to do so today and I also will do a follow up video about those quotes specifically.

I have some really great quotes from this essay I just shared with you which will post in response to your critique of my video essay when I have time today.

If true (I’d like to check) to my understanding he still believed those behavioral outcomes to be the desired representation of mind state, and according to Chomsky, that was at the expense of considerations of more internal psychological states. He talks about that in his essay which you can read.

‘We propose a new model in which public communication and advocacy are considered as essential to our mission as rigor and reproducibility — critical not only for safeguarding science, but also for ensuring that its benefits reach all segments of the societies we serve.’
