.... committed to the details of these machines as exemplified in Turing s original formulation or in typical commercial computers; only to the basic idea that the kind of computing that is relevant to understanding cognition involves operations on symbols (see Newell, 1980, 1982; Fodor 1976, 1987; or Pylyshyn, 1980, 1984) In contrast, Connectionists propose to design systems that can exhibit intelligent behavior without storing, retrieving, or otherwise operating on structured symbolic expressions. The style of processing carried out in such models is thus strikingly unlike what goes on when conventional ....

....I do in the target article. The bulk of the discussion in the target article was to try to pin down what that means and to deal with various objections to it. So for example driven mainly by sensory information is cashed out in terms of cognitive impenetrability a notion that was proposed in Pylyshyn, 1980 and 1984 as a general means of distinguishing between properties of the cognitive architecture and properties of what is represented. The particular way I have tried to distinguish vision and cognition and the criteria I have suggested stem from a general goal I set for distinguishing ....
