[From Rick Marken (970226.1600)]
Hans Blom (970226b) --
what I call a model, in PCT expressed as "perceptual input functions"
Bruce Gregory (979226.1715 EST) --
The truth at last. Perception = Model... Now that we know this,
everyone can see that MCT _is_ HPCT. Now perhaps we can move on...
Excellent observation. Now what we need is a law that limits the
number of meanings that can be assigned to the word "model" to 1
(or, at least, to 1/day)
Martin Taylor (970226 14:30) --
It may gall you that the real-life data that you so often urge
people to look at turns out to seem to support Hans.
It doesn't gall me at all. But I don't think the data support Hans'
model yet (though they certainly don't reject it). A PCT model can
handle the data, too. So right now it seems to me that these
"tracking with predictable target" experiments might be a nice
basis for comparing the behavior of Hans' and the PCT models to
real data.
And I suppose it must be worse that you generated those data
yourself,
Only because it makes me feel like I'm one of the only ones doing the
grunt work.
