hile we have been examining just one such procedure, the derivation of depth from disparity, vision researchers have taken a computational approach to a range of other visual processes
How does a computational approach work in terms of the dual vision system theory?
he computer has quite general capacities for reading symbols or patterns presented by input devices, storing symbols in memory, copying symbols from one memory location to another, erasing symbols, comparing symbols for identity, detecting specific
While the GPS program primarily focuses on thought processes, I wonder how it would hold up when focusing specifically on memory.
Given this inconsistency between the subjects’ reports and the experimental data, there is further reason to doubt that the reports on which Newell and Simon rely accurately reflect the unconscious processes that humans use when solving logic problems.
When it comes to the GPS program and comparing the human mind to computers, there will almost always be a gap between processing times and margin of error that comes with being human. People can't always be as efficient as computer programs.
Even if most professional philosophers aim at the deepest kind of knowledge, this does not show that it is a valuable enterprise for all students, especially for those who are already overcoming significant hurdles to attend university.
Philosophy is no doubt useful when it comes to how we think of the world and ourselves; however, I don't think pursuing philosophy academically in its entirety is required to reap the benefits and utilize the skills that come with it. The feasibility of doing so is dismissed far too quickly.
