Vision: A computational investigation into the human representation and proce…

The Architecture of Cognition: Rethinking Fodor and Pylyshyn's Systematicity …
In 1988, Jerry Fodor and Zenon Pylyshyn challenged connectionist theorists to explain the systematicity of cognition. In a highly influential critical analysis of connectionism, they argued that connectionist explanations, at best, can only inform us about details of the neural substrate; explanations at the cognitive level must be classical insofar as adult human cognition is essentially syste…
