Dynamicism, also termed the dynamic hypothesis or the dynamic hypothesis in cognitive science or dynamic cognition, is a approach in cognitive science polpularized by the work of philosopher Tim van Gelder.[1][2] It argues that differential equations and dynamical systems are more suited to modeling cognition rather than the commonly used ideas of symbolicism, connectionism, or traditional computer models.[3] [4] It is closely related to Dynamical neuroscience
