    Internalism and Externalism in Epistemology
    American Philosophical Quarterly 30 (4). 1993.
    Internalism restricts justifiers to what is "within" the subject. two main forms of internalism are (1) perspectival internalism (pi), which restricts justifiers to what the subject knows or justifiably believes, and (2) access internalism (ai), which restricts justifiers to what is directly accessible to the subject. the two forms are analyzed and interrelated, and the grounds for each are examined. it is concluded that although pi is both unacceptable and without adequate support, a modest for…Read more

    Money and motivational activation
    with Arthur B. Markman, Serge Blok, John Dennis, Micah Goldwater, Jeff Laux, Lisa Narvaez, and Jon Rein
    Behavioral and Brain Sciences 29 (2): 190-190. 2006.
    Different aspects of people's interactions with money are best conceptualized using the drug and tool theories. The key question is when these models of money are most likely to guide behavior. We suggest that the Drug Theory characterizes motivationally active uses of money and that the Tool Theory characterizes behavior in motivationally cool situations. (Published Online April 5 2006).

    One alignment mechanism or many?
    with Arthur B. Markman, Levi B. Larkey, Lisa Narvaez, and C. Hunt Stilwell
    Behavioral and Brain Sciences 27 (2): 204-205. 2004.
    Pickering & Garrod (P&G) suggest that communicators synchronize their processing at a number of linguistic levels. Whereas their explanation suggests that representations are being compared across individuals, there must be some representation of all conversation participants in each participant's head. At the level of the situation model, it is important to maintain separate representations for each participant. At other levels, it seems less crucial to have a separate representation for each p…Read more

    Digging beneath rules and similarity
    with Arthur B. Markman, Sergey Blok, Levi Larkey, Lisa R. Narvaez, C. Hunt Stilwell, and Eric Taylor
    Behavioral and Brain Sciences 28 (1): 29-30. 2005.
    Pothos suggests dispensing with the distinction between rules and similarity, without defining what is meant by either term. We agree that there are problems with the distinction between rules and similarity, but believe these will be solved only by exploring the representations and processes underlying cases purported to involve rules and similarity.

    Culture and individual differences
    with Arthur B. Markman, Serge Blok, John Dennis, Micah Goldwater, Jeff Laux, Lisa Narvaez, and Eric Taylor
    Behavioral and Brain Sciences 28 (6): 831-831. 2005.
    Tests of economic theory often focus on choice outcomes and find significant individual differences in these outcomes. This variability may mask universal psychological processes that lead to different choices because of differences across cultures in the information people have available when making decisions. On this view, decision making research within and across cultures must focus on the processes underlying choice.
