Document Summary

Name the three levels and the questions that each level makes an attempt to answer. Why and explain how the tri-level hypothesis is important to the eld of cognitive science. Speci es way problem is solved, software, syntax, / representation. Speci es the medium or physical substrate in which the problem-solving procedure is executed; semantic, meaning, symbolic. Example: a car exists, and it solves the problem of getting you from place to place (computational). It does that using roads, the engine, the tires, etc (algorithmic). How the car gets gas and how it hardware and architecture all work together is what allows it to move (implementation). This hypothesis is important because every action involves all these levels - a problem, what is consists of, and how those components are used to solve the problem. It breaks a problem down to its parts: describe how a handheld pocket calculator performs division at the three levels of computation.
