OCCURRENT THOUGHT AND A PRIORI REASON IN CHIMPANZEES.
Drawing on recent findings in cognitive neuroscience on aha-experiences in humans, I develop and defend the occurrent-thought hypothesis, which holds that chimpanzees evolved the ability for aha-experiences/occurrent thoughts to make their unconscious inferential reasoning abilities more effective....

I argue that the occurrent-thought hypothesis provides a better explanation than the inference-only hypothesis for a range of facts about chimpanzees' inferential reasoning abilities. I recommend more direct empirical tests of the hypothesis and describe three experimental protocols. I end by drawing out the philosophical implications of the hypothesis for the evolution of a priori reason in humans and chimpanzees. Apoyándose en descubrimientos recientes de la neurociencia cognitiva sobre "experiencias ajá" (aha-experiences) en seres humanos, este artículo desarrolla y defiende la "hipótesis del pensamiento ocurrente", según la cual los chimpancés adquirieron a lo largo de la evolución la habilidad para tener "experiencias ajá" o pensamientos ocurrentes, que les permitieron mejorar la efectividad de sus habilidades de razonamiento inferencial inconsciente. Se argumenta que la hipótesis del pensamiento ocurrente explica mejor una serie de hechos sobre las habilidades de razonamiento inferencial de los chimpancés que la "hipótesis de la exclusividad de la inferencia" (inference-only). Se recomiendan más pruebas empíricas directas de la hipótesis y se describen tres protocolos experimentales. El artículo concluye con las implicaciones filosóficas de la hipótesis para la evolución del pensamiento a priori en seres humanos y chimpancés. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Crítica is the property of Instituto de Investigaciones Filosoficas and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
