Many human behaviors described algorithmically
Humans have many behaviors in common with computer programs—eg stimulus-response reactions, doing arithmetic, planning itineraries etc. These behaviors can be described algorithmically with recursive functions. Hence it's likely humans are automata.
Raymond J. Nelson, 1989.
