Thought is serial despite parallel architecture
At the symbolic level, human thinking is a serial process, despite the parallelism of its neural implementation; eg to multiply 5 by 12 requries several small steps, in which 5 is multiplied by 2, then by 10, and then the results are added together.
Herbert Simon (1995).
