Cognitive System - Correct Answer an organized network/structure that is distinct from its environment,
made up interrelated and interacting parts



Monism - Correct Answer - The mind and body are intertwined

- the mind can be studied from its connections to the body

- mental events are a product of physical events



Dualism - Correct Answer - the mind is an entirely separate entity from the body, cannot be studied
(Descartes)

- the mind is not subject to physical laws



Phineas Gage - Correct Answer railroad worker impaled in head, lost about a cup of brain sneezed from
his nose;

- lived, still functioned in most senses

- emotionally blunted, no forethought or planning

- evidence of localization of function



Psychodynamics - Correct Answer Sigmund Freud

- effect of childhood experiences on later behaviour

- unconscious thought processes and emotional responses



Behaviourism - Correct Answer mental processes are exclusively tied to behaviour, only studying
observable behaviour to understand the mind, classical conditioning



Influences on Behaviour and Mental Processes - Correct Answer - biological: genetic predispositions

- psychological: learned fears, expectations, emotional response, perceptual interpretations

- social-cultural: societal/cultural/family expectations, peer influences

, Artificial Intelligence - Correct Answer the synthesis and analysis of computational agents that act
intelligently;

two possibilities:

- think and act like humans

- think and act rationally



Agent (intelligent and not) - Correct Answer an agent takes implicit and explicit inputs from its
environment, representing and reasoning with the information, and performs actions in response



4 Indications of Acting Intelligently (Comp Sci) - Correct Answer 1) actions are appropriate for its goals
and circumstances

2) flexible to changing environments and goals

3) learns from experience

4) it's choices are appropriate given perceptual and computational limitations



Machine Learning - Correct Answer supervised learning: labeled training data sets, indicators to
determine the probability of different categories



Deep Learning - Correct Answer unsupervised learning: trained on extremely large data sets, teachable
machine, need distinct categories/patterns to recognize



Philosophical Naturalism - Correct Answer philosophical issues occur at every stage of the scientific
process, and overall



The Turing Test Controversies - Correct Answer empirical: will there ever be a computer that wins the
imitation game?

conceptual: does that mean the computer can think?



The Chinese Room - Correct Answer John Searle, no thinking behind the inputs/outputs, just following
rules, no learning, but perfect behaviour
