Evaluation: multiple choice, 40% for best and 40% second best grade on quiz, 20% essay, 4% bonus for sona experiments (a separate system) Robotics: robots perceive the environment through sensors, for example, mobile, self-working vacuums. Concept question: polleverywhere. com, which is a description of a distributed cognitive system and its environment? (dcs/environment) Cognition is manipulation of representations: representation of a fridge (milk, eggs, etc); lets say someone adds beer to the fridge, now you have manipulated your representation of what is in your fridge. Human memory of fact and perceptions (not skills) Sensory memory sensory memory is like a scratch pad (for vision), or a recording tape (for hearing), that can be overwritten with new things. It is re-written every few seconds by new perceptions (very much like the actual thing i saw) (cid:8209)(cid:1)
