Cummins asserts that mental representation is, in fact, a problem in the philosophy of science, a theoretical assumption that serves different explanatory roles within the different contexts of commonsense or "folk" psychology, orthodox computation, connectionism, or neuroscience.Cummins looks at existing and traditional accounts by Locke, Fodor, Dretske, Millikan, and others of the nature of mental representation and evaluates these accounts within the context of orthodox computational theories of cognition. He proposes that popular accounts of mental representation are inconsistent with the empirical assumptions of these models, which require an account of representation like that involved in mathematical modeling. In the final chapter he considers how mental representation might look in a connectionist context.A Bradford Book. 001386587 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001386587 650_0 $$aMental representation. 001386587 650_0 $$aMeaning (Philosophy) 001386587 653__ $$aPhilosophy$$aRepresentation 001386587 653__ $$aCOGNITIVE SCIENCES/General 001386587 653__ $$aPHILOSOPHY/Philosophy of Mind/General 001386587 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001386587 852__ $$bebk 001386587 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/4516.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001386587 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001386587 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1386587$$pGLOBAL_SET 001386587 980__ $$aBIB 001386587 980__ $$aEBOOK 001386587 982__ $$aEbook 001386587 983__ $$aOnline
