Connectionism vs. Computational Theory of Mind
نویسنده
چکیده
Usually, the problems in AI may be many times related to Philosophy of Mind, and perhaps because this reason may be in essence very disputable. So, for instance, the famous question: Can a machine to think? It was proposed by Alan Turing [16]. And it may be the more decisive question, but for many people it would be a non-sense. So, two of the very fundamental and more confronted positions usually considered according this line includes the Connectionism and the Computational Theory of Mind. We analyze here its content, with their past disputes, and current situation.

Proposal of Pattern Recognition as a necessary and sufficient Principle to Cognitive Science
Despite the prevalence of the Computational Theory of Mind and the Connectionist Model, the establishing of the key principles of the Cognitive Science are still controversy and inconclusive. This paper proposes the concept of PATTERN RECOGNITION as NECESSARY AND SUFFICIENT PRINCIPLE for a general cognitive science modeling, in a very ambitious scientific proposal. A formal physical definition ...
متن کاملThe Varieties of Dynamicism
The dynamical approach to cognition is often considered to be ‘revolutionary’. In contrast to the well-established approaches of computationalism and connectionism, dynamicism is typically thought to be anti-representational, holistic, phenomenological and law-based. In this paper, I will argue that this way of thinking about dynamicism is too restrictive: it fails to capture the heterogeneous ...
متن کاملThe Computational Metaphor and Cognitive Psychology
The past three decades have witnessed a remarkable growth of research interest in the mind. This trend has been acclaimed as the ‘cognitive revolution’ in psychology. At the heart of this revolution lies the claim that the mind is a computational system. The purpose of this paper is both to elucidate this claim and to evaluate its implications for cognitive psychology. The nature and scope of c...
متن کاملComputational Cognitive Neuroscience
Cognitive neuroscience was born in the 1990’s amid a technological explosion that produced powerful new methods for noninvasively studying the human brain, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). These exciting new technologies revolutionized the scientific study of the mind, giving unprecedented observability into the neural processes...
متن کاملComputationalism’s Weak Spot
Introduction Computationalism, the claim widely held among cognitive scientists that mental states are computational states, has recently come under heavy attack from various directions. Some (especially adherents of connectionism and dynamic systems people”) hold that mind cannot be explained in terms of computation. Others believe that crucial aspects of the intuitive notion of computation ar...
