Document Summary

Illusions can change the appearance of lines, plays tricks with the receptors in the eyes: ren descartes (17th century): the senses deceive us . Visual perceptual system is delivering some misinformation about the true length and orientation of the lines does not alter how the system works: distinction between perception and cognition. Implicit: non-declarative memory, whatever enables you to perform cognitive tasks without having to rely on your declarative memory: procedural-type memory: rules, mechanisms, perceptual knowledge/processes. Example 5=five: descartes, hobbes, hume: mental representations are ideas, that get different forms, which then enter into cognitive processes, mental processes: operations over representations, computations: principles that underlie the logarithms ability to see the world, perception. Elements of thoughts, symbolic, abstract: activations: representations of activation, the idea of how a neuron works through activation patterns, hobbes: all examples stand for the same content of things represented. Things that you know, and things that you judge which is proof of own thought.
