Thinking is a rule following process
Any psychological theory must ulitmately decompose psychological phenomena into neural processes that do not require intelligence to implement. Those neural processes can be characterised by Turing-type rules, and hence are computable.
Raymond J. Nelson, 1989.

Note:

Also see the "Do humans use rules as physical symbol systems do?" arguments on Map 3, the "Do connectionist networkds follow rules?" arguments on Map 5 and the "Is the relation between hardware and software similar to to that between human brains and minds?" arguments on Map 3.
