But representation at the computational level can often affect what counts as optimal performance!

Thank you will read this today!

IMHO the field actually self-corrected as a reaction to this and other papers calling out the fundamentalists. A nice thought that slowly but surely we find better ways to do, at least cognitive, science.

Being part of that field, I think we have over the last decade or so tried to considerably improve. Statistics of the world to define priors. Separate likelihood tests. Acknowledging that behavior is not optimal. Generalization tests. Comparison across different Bayesian models.
