While both names are self explanatory, the contents are anything but expected.
Commitment to the explanatory relevance of content, however, is for most cognitive scientists fundamental (Fodor 1981a, Pylyshyn 1984, Von Eckardt 1993).
It also raises other interesting questions concerning such matters as the explanatory relevance of content and the possibility of a priori self-knowledge.
Some philosophers have proposed that there are different explanatory purposes for contents to serve, and one kind of content cannot serve all of them.
Content externalism raises serious questions about the explanatory utility of representational content for scientific psychology: Argument from Causation (Fodor 1987 , 1991: How can mental content exert any causal influence except as manifested within internal neurophysiology?
Egan's theory places the number rather than the content at explanatory center stage.
They therefore encounter worries about the explanatory role of representational content, similar to worries encountered by FSC and structuralism.
See also Dretske (1993), which pursues an alternative strategy for vindicating the explanatory relevance of wide content.
They find support for differences in human capital, job skill requirements, job characteristics and job skill content as explanatory factors behind the wage penalty.
A different way to defend the explanatory relevance of wide content is to identify its distinctive explanatory role without them being parasitic upon the causal efficacy of intrinsic properties.
We have developed enhanced teaching material for each practical session, which unify the content, provide explanatory illustrations and photographs for the experimental methods, and highlight the main objectives and conclusions.
