Document Summary

Cgsc 1001 note - learning, memory and representation. Transforms things in the environment to internal representations. Turns desires to act into physical changes in the environment. You and a collection of other people/things can constitute a cognitive system all by itself. Doing homework or any task, this determines what are inside or outside of the cognitive system. You and the calculator are doing the homework. The task of doing the paper consists of everything you use - the environment. It takes in information by various devices that have sensory systems. Actuators, software e ects and bodies can also take in information. The best answer for a cognitive system is when you have external information that is used in a similar environment. Creating, combining ,using them for reasoning - manipulation of representation. If shoes are in the house, means somebody is home. Creating facts in your head that are not exactly images.
