Connectionism and cognitive architecture: a critical analysis
Jerry A. Fodor,Zenon W. Pylyshyn +1 more
TL;DR: Differences between Connectionist proposals for cognitive architecture and the sorts of models that have traditionally been assumed in cognitive science are explored and the possibility that Connectionism may provide an account of the neural structures in which Classical cognitive architecture is implemented is considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tracking multiple independent targets: Evidence for a parallel tracking mechanism*
Zenon W. Pylyshyn,Ron W. Storm +1 more
TL;DR: Two studies are reported which suggest that, while certain aspects of attention require that locations be scanned serially, at least one operation may be carried out in parallel across several independent loci in the visual field, that is the operation of indexing features and tracking their identity.
Book ChapterDOI
What the Mind’s Eye Tells the Mind’s Brain: A Critique of Mental Imagery
TL;DR: In this paper, it is argued that an adequate characterization of what we know requires that we posit abstract mental structures to which we do not have conscious access and which are essentially conceptual and propositional, rather than sensory or pictorial, in nature.
Book
Computation and Cognition: Toward a Foundation for Cognitive Science
TL;DR: In Computation and Cognition, Pylyshyn argues that computation must not be viewed as just a convenient metaphor for mental activity, but as a literal empirical hypothesis, which must face a number of serious challenges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computation and cognition: Issues in the foundations of cognitive science.
TL;DR: The cognitive impenetrability condition as discussed by the authors states that a function cannot be influenced by such purely cognitive factors as goals, beliefs, inferences, tacit knowledge, and so on.
