Since this is precisely what computers do, my proposal amounts to a claim that cognition is a type of computation. i have said that this book is intended merely to be a modest start in the task of developing an inventory and an understanding of some assumptions underlying cognitive science.

Most work in cognitive science assumes that the mind has mental representations analogous to computer data structures, and computational procedures similar to computational algorithms. cognitive theorists have proposed that the mind contains such mental representations as logical propositions, rules, concepts, images, and analogies, and that it. This book, however, is written by a distinguished psychologist and computer scientist who is well known for his work on the conceptual foundations of cognitive science, and especially for.
