Dennett, D. C. ``Why not the whole iguana.'' The Behavioral and Brain Sciences (1978) p103-104 In this short article Dennett proposes that cognitive scientists should try to model whole cognitive creatures instead of working on specific parts of cognition; visual, audition, language, etc. This idea forms a basis for the study of artificial life. Dr. Brooks' ideas of ``situatedness'' and ``embodiment'' also fit nicely into this framework. Mark D. Smucker --- mds@iastate.edu
