laboratory for help with computer confabulation experiments. Domestic cat Zeus Hecht-Nielsen
(Figure 3.A.9) and I have spent part of most mornings since May 1990 exploring our family
compound and eating breakfast together. These thousands of hours of personal interaction and
behavioral observation have yielded many valuable insights into the workings of cognition; some of
which were indispensable in the development of this theory.
