Psychologia poznawcza zakłada wewnętrzny system reprezentacji z własną składnią – „mentalese”, w którym myślenie jest obliczaniem.
Wprowadzenie
Jerry Fodor, a philosopher and cognitive scientist at MIT, published the book in 1975. He argues that the most successful theories of perception, learning and decision-making in cognitive psychology treat mental processes as computations over representations, and that these representations must form a language-like system with a combinatorial syntax and semantics. This language of thought cannot be a natural language such as English, since infants and animals think, and learning a language itself requires forming hypotheses in some prior system of representation. A much-disputed consequence is that a great many concepts must be innate. The book is a founding text of the computational theory of mind.
