Document Summary

Computational level: functionalism what the mind does (goal, function, voluntarism and structuralism more basic description (properties, behaviorism the mind is a stimulus-response mapping device. Algorithmic level: processes, functionalism: free flowing, voluntarism and structuralism: more discrete, behaviorism: not a focus, representations, voluntarism and structuralism: mental molecules, atoms, behaviorism and functionalism: not a focus. From a tri-level perspective: how do views of the mind change with cognitivism. Big discoveries in psychology, linguistics and computer science were being made around the (cid:1005)9(cid:1009)(cid:1004)"s that (cid:373)ade ps(cid:455)(cid:272)hologist start (cid:272)o(cid:374)(cid:448)ergi(cid:374)g o(cid:374) the (cid:272)o(cid:374)(cid:272)lusio(cid:374) the (cid:373)i(cid:374)d should be viewed as much more than just a black box.

The mind is not a black box: behaviorism: stimulus organism reponses, cognitivism: stimulus (organism mind) response.
