Abstract
Theorists of learning, regulation, and evolution explain behavior using rem arkably different concepts because of pressures toward specialization, a fo cus on testing simple causal theories that underconceptualize the contribut ions of the organism and its environment, and the absence of a working mode l capable of surviving in a complex environment. We add suggestions for the development and testing of such a model.
