THE BASICS
1. The role of computation in cognition
2. Marr's levels (barn owl experiment)
1. Computational theory: What is the goal of the computation, why is it appropriate, and what is the logic of the strategy by which it can be carried out?
2. Representation and algorithm: How can this computational theory be implemented? In particular, what is the representation for the input and output, and what is the algorithm for the transformation?
3. Hardware implementation: How can the representation and algorithm be realized physically?
3. The brain as a multidimensional space
4. Awareness and consciousness (Chapter 2)
PERCEPTION
5. Generalization (Shepard's Law states that the further away in psych. Space, the less of a chance of generalization).
6. Categorization
categorization: recognize objects as belonging to the same category, without losing information about their differences.
categorical perception as distortion of the representation space
