Dynamicism, also termed the dynamic hypothesis or the dynamic hypothesis in cognitive science or dynamic cognition, is a new approach in cognitive science exemplified by the work of philosopher Tim van Gelder. It argues that differential equations are more suited to modeling cognition rather than the commonly used ideas of symbolicism, connectionism, or traditional computer models.[1] Cf also dynamical systems theory.
