Collapsing Content and Process: Mental Representations are not Static and the Brain is not a Computer
نویسندگان
چکیده
A widespread assumption in the cognitive sciences that continues to shape theories from low-level perception to high-level reasoning is that cognitive processes are distinct from the representations on which they operate. According to this view, the brain is like a computer in which content (data) is qualitatively separate from process (operations on the data). We will argue that this critical assumption is largely irreconcilable with data from neuroscience and contemporary behavioral studies of perception and attention.
