Abstract

Webb’s lucid critique of the animat modeling approach in adaptive behavior (AB) is very welcome. It provides an excellent opportunity to clarify how models in the field can achieve greater biological relevance. Webb makes a strong case for the importance of targeting specific animal systems, as opposed to analyzing made-up (animat) models. There are, however, many roads to biological relevance, including but not limited to the close targeting of models to specific animals. Moreover, models which deliberately depart from close targeting can have biological relevance precisely because of their departures.
