13. Knowledge Criteria / C. External Justification / 9. Naturalised Epistemology

3166	Animal learning is separate from their behaviour [Rey]
	Full Idea: Rats and monkeys exhibit 'latent learning' (learning just for fun) which is later beneficial. They learn with no consequences, and then can't learn when the good consequences are available.
	From: Georges Rey (Contemporary Philosophy of Mind [1997], 4.1.1)
	A reaction: This looks like a bit of a setback for naturalised epistemology and cognitive science, if learning can't be brought within a stimulus-response framework.
