Furthermore, the tendency within that literature to explain precursive relationships in terms of role states with isomorphic linguistic/computational structures is misleading. Developmental relationships are more likely to exist between states which play a similar normative role in the agents's psychology than between states which can be described as sharing a similar computational architecture.", pages = "56-75(20)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/bpl/mila/1998/00000013/00000001/art00006" doi = "doi:10.1111/1468-0017.00065" }
