I 365 Representation/Sterelny: Representation is more than registration. E.g. chimpanzees adapt to the psychological states (aggressiveness) of other chimpanzees. However, it is still one thing to track mental states, another to represent them. >Mental states, >Internal states. I 366 E.g., 1. A bonobo interprets the actions a, b, c.. as being of the same type, 2. they are produced by the same mental state Q (perhaps anger). 3. a, b, c, have no single sensory stimulus in common. 4. completeness I 367 Deception/error/correction: Stability: can then consist of the variety of observable stimuli. >Deceptions. On the other hand: reaction bandwidth is also important. I 368 Representation/Sterelny: Thesis: Representation develops in information-permeable environments. >Information/Sterelny.}, note = { Sterelny I Kim Sterelny "Primate Worlds", in: The Evolution of Cognition, C.
