Stephen, Damian G.; Dixon, James A.; Isenhower, Robert W. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
Explaining how the cognitive system can create new structures has been a major challenge for cognitive science. Self-organization from the theory of nonlinear dynamics offers an account of this remarkable phenomenon. Two studies provide an initial test of the hypothesis that the emergence of new cognitive structure follows the same universal…
