Summary

The idea that thinking, and thinking about the future, is based on logical content and the computer-like processing of variables has been a cornerstone of the cognitive revolution. The fact that so few theories of prediction and so few prediction scientists explicitly incorporate any form of symbolic rule-based inferencing into their theorizing is another indication of a true paradigm shift in the mind and brain sciences toward a new probabilistic, and at least partly associationist, nonsymbolic and non-rule-based science of the predictive mind.
