Problems? 3. Behaviorism Stage What is the structure of our behavior? Lets look at associations between stimuli and responses, and how they are learned! Problems?

Hubel and Wiesel There are neurons in the brain that respond selectively to specific kinds of stimuli in the environment! 3. Alan Turing Any pattern of responses to any input at all can be understood in terms of a program that is carried out by a general computing machine. linguist neuroscientist computer scientist psychologists evolutionary biologists philosophers
