Cognition-Chapter 1
  1. Thinkers
    1. Descartes
      1. Mental representations are ideas that take form
      2. Hobbes
        1. Mental processes are calculations
        2. Turing
          1. Invented the machine: finite states+ finite rules= infinite capacity
        3. Knowledge
          1. Implicit
            1. Innate
              1. Whatever enables you to perform cognitive tasks, mostly unlearned
            2. Explicit
              1. The one that we acquire and are conscious of
                1. By experience

                      1. INPUT
                      2. Representations and algorithms
                        1. Representing something external
                          1. System manipulates representations

                                          1. Mental representations that we can't see
                                            1. Works like a turning machine
