Synopsis
This systematic investigation of computation and mental phenomena by a noted psychologist and computer scientist argues that cognition is a form of computation, that the semantic contents of mental states are encoded in the same general way as computer representations are encoded.

"I think Pylyshyn has a great deal of important understanding of the role of the architecture in defining the nature of symbolic behavior, more so than almost all of the cognitive-science oriented philosophers and more than most cognitive psychologists.... His development of the notion of cognitive penetrability as an essential criterion is extremely useful in making some of this understanding clear.... He really does bring to this problem a depth of insight that most others do not have."--Allen Newell, University Professor of Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University
