Abstract

This commentary emphasizes the importance of how we individuate cognitive capacities, operations, and vehicles. It challenges the target article's reliance on mechanistic notions of computation and medium-independence and uses examples from the memory literature to suggest that the role played by metabolic considerations in cognitive models will depend on questions of taxonomy and cognitive ontology.
