Document Summary

Use this as an analogy b/c gives insight into cognition, defines the problem space, offers constraints, helps us frame the problems/tools/solutions. One difference between the mind and computer: the mind has consciousness: subjective awareness of mental states. Big question of what is consciousness, where it comes from, & if it in needed for something to be considered a mind; the subjective feeling of personal experience is called (cid:498)qualia(cid:499) Primary type of representation discrete digital symbols w/ semantic content (meaning) Primary type of computation serial processing of digital symbols using structure sensitive rules (syntax) Turing machine know how to interpret a machine table and how the algorithm proceeds. What the machine does any one step/time point is determined by exactly 2 things: 1 current state of machine, 2 current symbol in cell. *don"t need to know how to write the algorithm/table from scratch. Turing & turing test, imitation game vs. seale & chinese room.
