Cognitive Science (computer model of the mind): the relation of the mind to the brain is like that of a program to the hardware.
>Computer model.
SearleVsCognition: is the brain like a computer? This not the question. The question is: is the mind like a program? No, it is not. Simulation is, however, possible. The mind has an intrinsical mental content and is therefore not a program.
I 226
Church Thesis: simulation on a computer is possible if it is divisible into steps. Searle: if the mind were like weather there would be no problem.
>">Simulation, >Church thesis.
I 242
SearleVsCognitivism: syntax (or 0 and 1) has no causal powers (unlike e.g. viruses, photosynthesis, etc.). People follow rules consciously: that would be a causal explanation. The computer has no intentional causation.
I 251/52
VsCognition: cognition has a much too high level of abstraction. The brain does not process information, but carries out chemical processes. Do not confuse the model with reality.
>Information processing/Psychology.
