Document Summary
Embodiment: what happens in the mind has to do with what happens in the body. Giving them a hint going back and forth between the skin and the healthy tissue inside. People were not aware of their own cognition. How fast they learn something and how fast they learn to pay attention of something. Dynamic field theory: all neutron-machinery are all building up to a layer of analysis of neutrons in groups, form excitatory and inhibitory connections with one another, spreading activism creating field. Second model emphases on learning then problem solving after. Going to do the same thing no matter where you start. The output (behavior) is insensitive to the input. At r = 3. 59, output gets very complicated messy and unpredictable. At r = 3. 8, x = . 5 and x = . 501 are enormously different. Cognitive science message: function itself is simple, computers cannot be used to model human mind because humans are unpredictable, good news.
