"Psychological essentialism in selecting the 14th Dalai Lama" Mixing Memory]

Sat, 28 Jun 2008 17:55:35 PDT
There's an interesting short paper by Paul Bloom and Susan Gelman in the July issue of Trends in Cognitive Science with that title.

If you're not familiar with the idea, "psychological essentialism" is the belief that entiti
