Content and cognitive science
The computer model of the mind has informed and guided debate in the cognitive sciences for over 40 years, and gives pride of place to symbols. In this paper I investigate the nature of computational symbols and show that even in the parade cases of symbolic computation, symbols are not doing all the semantic and computational work. This analysis has important consequences for the scope of cogn...
متن کاملInformation processing, computation, and cognition.
Computation and information processing are among the most fundamental notions in cognitive science. They are also among the most imprecisely discussed. Many cognitive scientists take it for granted that cognition involves computation, information processing, or both - although others disagree vehemently. Yet different cognitive scientists use 'computation' and 'information processing' to mean d...
متن کاملA Computational Foundation for the Study of Cognition
Computation is central to the foundations of modern cognitive science, but its role is controversial. Questions about computation abound: What is it for a physical system to implement a computation? Is computation sufficient for thought? What is the role of computation in a theory of cognition? What is the relation between different sorts of computational theory, such as connectionism and symbo...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Fuzzy Cognitive Maps Learning Using Evolutionary Computation Techniques
A recently proposed swarm intelligence technique for Fuzzy Cognitive Map learning is described. The technique employs the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm to minimize a proper objective function, whose global minimizers correspond to suboptimal weight matrices of the Fuzzy Cognitive Map. New instances of an industrial test problem are studied, justifying the usefulness of the technique as ...
متن کاملConcrete Digital Computation: What Does it Take for a Physical System to Compute?
This paper deals with the question: what are the key requirements for a physical system to perform digital computation? Time and again cognitive scientists are quick to employ the notion of computation simpliciter when asserting basically that cognitive activities are computational. They employ this notion as if there was or is a consensus on just what it takes for a physical system to perform ...
