I thought what followed was equally thought-provoking:

"In Rey’s view, the notion of “recursive processing” as a unique form of cognition is in itself flawed. Even in humans, he says, this capacity can most likely be explained simply through associative learning mechanisms..."

AFAIK, this contrasts quite markedly with Chomsky's position that recursion is central to his universal grammar.
