The reinterpretation hypothesis: Explanation or redescription?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 May 2008
Abstract
Penn et al. propose the relational reinterpretation hypothesis as an explanation of the profound discontinuities that they identify between human and nonhuman cognition. This hypothesis is not a genuine replacement for the explanations that they reject, however, because as it stands, it simply redescribes the phenomena it is trying to explain.
