Quantum effects irrelevant to symbolic processes »
Quantum effects irrelevant to symbolic processes
Quantum effects irrelevant to symbolic processesâQuantum uncertainties are unimportant to the study of symbolic thought processes because they occur at a low level of organisation and are averaged out before they can affect higher-level processes.âFFFACD

Yes: physical symbol systems can think [3]
Yes: physical symbol systems can think [3]âThinking is a rule governed manipulation of symbolic representational structures. In humans, symbol systems are instantiated in the brain, but the same symbol systems can also be instantiated in a computer. âFFFACD

Thought is serial despite parallel architecture »
Thought is serial despite parallel architecture
Thought is serial despite parallel architectureâAt 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.âFFFACD

The Heuristic Search Assumption »
The Heuristic Search Assumption

Affordances are just symbolic representations »
Affordances are just symbolic representations
Affordances are just symbolic representationsâAffordances are nothing but internal representations whose symbolic character is concealed from consciousness. Acquiring affordances is a matter of encoding sensory stimuli as symbolic representations. âFFFACD

Affordances need to be redefined »
Affordances need to be redefined
Affordances need to be redefinedâAs affordances arent representations, they provide no help in understanding the encoding processes in the brain involved in perception and cognition. Symbolic models have been helpful. So its best to redefine affordances in terms of symbols.âFFFACD

Clancey's account of symbols is too limited
Clancey's account of symbols is too limitedâClancey errs in his criticism of the symbol systems hypothesis and in his claims for situated action.âFFFACD

The worldview criticism misses the point »
The worldview criticism misses the point
The worldview criticism misses the pointâVera and Simon do present the symbols systems approach as a worldview. But their criticisms of situated action are specific and address several principal theses propounded by the situated action school.âFFFACD
