Document Summary
Symbolic systems is an approach to do info processing at a higher level than numbers. Connectionism is an approach to do info processing in a biologically plausible way. Because we know the brain and the computer differ biologically.

Person and context work together in computation. Putting toy in a and the kid look for toy in a. Can make problem go away if changing the body of the child (new position) Sounds the person speaking and visually how his lips moved are diff. When we reproduce the sound, we generally come up something in between. Our perceptual experiences have effect on cognitive processes. E. g. stretching the skin and direction of movement influences how we perceive words.
