Abstract	Top-down dynamical models of cognitive processes, such as the one presented in this article by Thelen et al., are important pieces in understanding the development of cognitive abilities in humans and biological organisms. Unlike standard symbolic computational approaches to cognition, suc h dynamical models offer the hope that they can be connected with more bottom -up, neurologically inspired dynamical models and provide a complete view of cognition at all levels. We raise some questions about the details of their simulation and about pote ntial limitations of top -down dynamical models. A useful top-down dynamical model should not only simulate what is already known to be the case empirically but should also take the lead in identifying potentially illuminating patterns of simulated data for future testing and experimentation. With this in mind, we built a quick computer simulation of Thelen et al.'s model and were intrigued by what we found. We start this commentary by sharing some of these observations.
