PSYC 410 1st Edition Lecture 8 Outline of Last Lecture I. Introduction to a Neural NetworkII. What is Connectionism?III. Symbol System HypothesisIV. Cartesian Concept of Mind, 2.0Outline of Current Lecture II. What are Marr’s Levels?III. Varieties of Embodied CognitionIV. Bioengineering Current LectureMarr’s Levels Applied- The Cognitive Level: How can we maintain steady, controlled, output?- The Algorithm Level: What rules can be used to maintain steady, controlled output?- What device can we build or employ to carry out these rules?Varieties of Embodied Cognition- Dynamical Systems Theory: Treat organism - environment interaction as coupled systems- J. J. Gibson’s( 1904-1979) Ecological Psychology (INTERACT DIRECTLY WITH THE WORLD)o Perceptual Realismo AffordancesVarieties of Embodied Cognition- Dynamical Systems- Gibson’s Ecological Psychology- Rodney Brooks’ Animats and Situated Cognition: The world is its own best model.Bioengineering: Importance of the Body- Phonotaxis in CricketsVarieties of Embodied CognitionThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.- Dynamical Systems- Gibson’s Ecological Psychology- Rodney Brooks’ Animats and Situated Cognition: The world is its own best model.- Extended Mind Thesis- Radical Behaviorism?A Thought Experiment in Reverse Engineering, aka cognitive science- Imagine two big boxes- One contains the Watt system, the other contains the app system. You can’t open either box, but only measure fuel flow (stimulus/input) and mechanical work produced (response/output)- Can we tell the systems
