Epistemic Landscapes and the Division of Cognitive Labor
Because contemporary scientific research is conducted by groups of scientists, understanding scientific progress requires understanding this division of cognitive labor. We present a novel agent‐based model of scientific research in which scientists divide their labor to explore an unknown epistemic landscape. Scientists aim to find the most epistemically significant research approaches. We con...
متن کاملThe Division of Epistemic Labor in Democracy
Thomas Christiano claims that one of the fundamental challenges democracy is faced with is the appropriate division of epistemic labor between citizens and experts.

متن کاملDivision of Labor for Division: Inhibitory Interneurons with Different Spatial Landscapes in the Olfactory System
Normalizing neural responses by the sum of population activity allows the nervous system to adjust its sensitivity according to task demands, facilitating intensity-invariant information processing. In this issue of Neuron, two studies, Kato et al. (2013) and Miyamichi et al. (2013), suggest that parvalbumin-positive interneurons in the olfactory bulb play a role in this process.

Study 1 revealed that all children in the sample could correctly attribute observable knowledge to familiar experts (i.e., a doctor and a car mechanic). Further, 4- and 5-year-olds could correctly attribute knowledge of underlying scientific principles to the ap...
