Direct-fit to nature: an evolutionary perspective on biological (and artificial) neural networks (2019, background): “First, the brain’s computational resources are limited, and the underlying neural code must be optimized for particular functions (e.g., Chomsky, 1980; Fodor, 1983).”
MMBench: Is Your Multi-modal Model an All-around Player? (2023, background): “Together, they form the basis of most tasks in the real world, including recognizing objects, solving problems, and making decisions [36, 16].”
Hierarchical Control of Cognitive Processes (2011, neutral): “The inner loop is informationally encapsulated (Fodor, 1983), so the outer loop does not know how the inner loop does what it does.”
The relation between statistical power and inference in fMRI (2017, neutral): “Although the once-heated philosophical debate surrounding modularity has subsided in recent years [43,44], a version of the question remains salient for neuroimaging researchers: to what extent should we expect standard experimental contrasts to identify individual brain regions versus diffuse netwo”
On the Human "Interaction Engine" (2020, methodology): “The model is a Jean Tinguely kinetic sculpture built of bric-a-brac, not a Fodorean mental module (Fodor 1983), let alone a Chomskyan point v mutation (Bickerton 1998; Hauser et al. 2002).”
Transforming task representations to perform novel tasks (2020, neutral): “49, 90.32]), while the non-homoiconic model is achieving an average expected reward of 79.49% (bootstrap 95%-CI [69.”
