I applaud Huang & Bargh's (H&B's) theory that places goals at the center of cognition, and I discuss two ingredients missing from that theory. First, I argue that the brains of organisms much simpler than those of humans are already configured for goal achievement in situated interactions. Second, I propose a mechanistic view of the "reconfiguration principle" that links the theory with current views in computational neuroscience.
我赞赏 Huang 和 Bargh（H&B）的理论，该理论将目标置于认知的中心，并讨论了该理论中缺失的两个要素。首先，我认为，比人类简单得多的生物体的大脑已经在情境交互中为实现目标进行了配置。其次，我提出了一种关于“重新配置原则”的机械论观点，该观点将该理论与计算神经科学的当前观点联系起来。
