TLDR
This paper argues for an explanation of the mechanistic (computational) basis of consciousness that is based on the distinction between localist (symbolic) representation and distributed representation, the ideas of which have been put forth in the connectionist literature.

Neuropsychology Mental Structure

TL;DR: The authors consider specifically the neuropathological substrate on which are based the defective memory, ocular motor signs, the ataxia, the global confusional state and the occasional disturbance of olfactory and gustatory function and discuss the relationship between Wernicke's disease and Korsakoff's psychosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

The interaction of the explicit and the implicit in skill learning: a dual-process approach.

TL;DR: The authors argue for an integrated model of skill learning that takes into account both implicit and explicit processes, and argue for a bottom-up approach (first learning implicit knowledge and then explicit knowledge) in the integrated model.
Journal ArticleDOI

The self-organizing consciousness.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the isomorphism generally observed between the representations composing the authors' momentary phenomenal experience and the structure of the world is the end-product of a progressive organization that emerges thanks to elementary associative processes that take their conscious representations themselves as the stuff on which they operate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Desiderata for cognitive architectures

TL;DR: The article proposes a set of essential desiderata for developing cognitive architectures and argues for the importance of taking into full consideration these desidersata in developing future architectures that are more cognitively and ecologically realistic.

Being and Time

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an interpretation of Dasein in terms of temporality, and the Explication of Time as the Transcendental Horizon for the Question of Being.

Bagging predictors

Leo Breiman
TL;DR: Tests on real and simulated data sets using classification and regression trees and subset selection in linear regression show that bagging can give substantial gains in accuracy.

The Principles of Psychology

William James
TL;DR: For instance, the authors discusses the multiplicity of the consciousness of self in the form of the stream of thought and the perception of space in the human brain, which is the basis for our work.

Finding Structure in Time

TL;DR: A proposal along these lines first described by Jordan (1986) which involves the use of recurrent links in order to provide networks with a dynamic memory and suggests a method for representing lexical categories and the type/token distinction is developed.
