claims and Nature

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dan,
  Liz Bates and I sent in a reply to Gibson when the article came out, but
the editor of Language refused to publish it.  The reply, in the shape it
had back in 1994, is available at:

http://psyscope.psy.cmu.edu/Local/Brian/papers/gibson.pdf

It is a 3.0 Acrobat file.  You might find it easier to go first to

Regarding the brain, if your claim is that we have a lot more to learn, I
certainly couldn't disagree with that.
