Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence☜A collaboratively editable version of Robert Horns brilliant and pioneering debate map Can Computers Think?—exploring 50 years of philosophical argument about the possibility of computer thought.☜F1CEB7

Can computers think? [1]
Can computers think? [1]☜Can a computational system possess all important elements of human thinking or understanding? ☜FFB597

No: computers can't understand images [5b]
No: computers can't understand images [5b]☜Computers cant think because they cant use images in the way that people do. Computers can only deal with formal symbolic information.☜59C6EF

Images represented by filled cells in an array
Images represented by filled cells in an array☜Cells in a matrix inside a machine’s memory function as if they were arranged in a visual array. Images correspond to filled cells within such an array. Array-based sensory patterns are interpreted by higher-level systems. ☜EF597B
⌃
Images are Quasi-pictorial representations
Images are Quasi-pictorial representations☜Images are quasi-pictorial entities with special properties that correspond to those of their correlated physical objects. Images possess structure by virtue of their ties to higher-perceptual processes.☜98CE71

Image Psychology
Image Psychology☜Members of the image school of psychology claim that images play an essential role in thinking. ☜98CE71
⌃
Experimental evidence
Experimental evidence☜Kosslyn argues that image psychology is supported by experimental evidence.☜98CE71

Behavioural evidence
Behavioural evidence☜The behavioural experimental evidence cited by Stephen Kosslyn in support of this claim.☜FF97FF
↳
Mental Rotation
Mental Rotation☜Subjects rotated images in their heads in much the same way that they would rotate physical objects in space. Conclusion: the mental image being rotated has spatial properties analogous to those of an object.☜98CE71
↳
Scanning visual images
Scanning visual images☜The time needed for subjects to describe mental images corresponds to the time it would have taken them to scan an actual picture. Conclusion: internal images have special properties analogous to those external images. ☜98CE71
↳
Behavioural evidence inconclusive
Behavioural evidence inconclusive☜The behavioural evidence cant determine whether pictorial or propositional representations offer an adequate explanation of mental imagery. Instead, the evidence supports a theory about the process via which representations are employed.☜EF597B
↳
Scanning and rotation evidence is problematic
Scanning and rotation evidence is problematic☜Kosslyns experimental results may be invalid as: 1) subjects tacit knowledge of real objects makes them think they are supposed to work with images in the same way they work with real objects, and 2) The experimenter is able to affect the results.☜EF597B
□
Neuroimaging evidence
Neuroimaging evidence☜Modern neuroimaging techniques provide new experimental evidence in support of theories of visual mental imagery—suggesting that explanations based solely on language-descriptions are insufficient.☜FF97FF
