   Degenerate was explained by saying that the pathway can be jointly determined by multiple causes and isn't determined by just one thing.

   Smith and Thelen [2] used a dynamic systems approach to the A-not-B task. They found that various components of the activity (strength of memory trace, salience of targets, waiting time, stance) combine in the "B"-trial (where the object is hidden in the "B" location rather than "A") so the child either correctly or incorrectly searches for the ...
