36Can the theory of evolution be falsified?Acta Biotheoretica 33 (1): 35-50. 1984.In this paper we discuss the epistemological positions of evolution theories. A sharp distinction is made between the theory that species evolved from common ancestors along specified lines of descent , and the theories intended as causal explanations of evolution . The theory of common descent permits a large number of predictions of new results that would be improbable without evolution. For instance, phylogenetic trees have been validated now; the observed order in fossils of new species disc…Read more

23The cognitive economy: The probabilistic turn in psychology and human cognitionBehavioral and Brain Sciences 36 (3): 294-295. 2013.According to the foundations of economic theory, agents have stable and coherent preferences that guide their choices among alternatives. However, people are constrained by information-processing and memory limitations and hence have a propensity to avoid cognitive load. We propose that this in turn will encourage them to respond to preferences and goals influenced by context and memory representations

Some of these results support Glover's planning/control dissociation and some are at odds with it. We suggest that the model needs to be further refined and expanded.

5¿Estoico contra su voluntad? Agustín y la vida moralmente buena en ‘De beata uita’ y ‘Præceptum’Augustinus 53 (208): 157-174. 2008.En este artículo, partiendo de un análisis del "De beata uita" y del "Praeceptum", el autor quiere demostrar que las directrices de la antigua filosofía tuvieron un efecto más prolongado sobre Agustín, más allá de lo que puedan aportarnos los estudios sobre su punto de vista sobre la gracia o incluso sus propias palabras en "Confessiones"
