Document Summary
Intelligent systems are governed by representations (animals and computers) Three levels of analysis: biological/physical level, symbolic or syntactic level (rules and representations + rules, no meaning, knowledge or semantic level (what the representations are about) Need to vice a physical description of the mind. Need to specify form in which representations are encoded. Ned to identify the rules that govern input-output functions. Need to understand how the mind is structured and organized. Debate that started in the 80s and is still going: How the internal structure of the mind looks (or does it have one) The mind contains multiple distinct task-specific subsystems ( modules ) that operate in relative independence from one another. Two main questions: what is a module, to what extent is the mind modular? (neither have definite answers/agreement/wide-consensus) Gave a good description of what it looked like.
