....coils and Watt governors) distributed representations like the activation patterns propagating through a simulated neural network; images or picture like representations; and descriptions or language like representations. With a little thought, and a bit of reading in the relevant literature ([9, 36, 37, 38]; 101] offers a fairly comprehensive bibliography) I might come up with more distinctions, and perhaps an overall account of these varieties of representation, and the cognitive importance of each type. Depending on my conclusions, I might even be tempted to stop calling some of these things ....

Weighting for Meaning - Jackson (1993) (Correct)
....theoretical force of methodological solipsism means that the computational psychologist rejects, utterly and without reservation, any conception of the mind as a semantic engine. For quite some time in the literature, there have been advocates of the syntactic engine as a model of the mind (cf. Fodor, 1980; Stitch 1983; Churchland, 1990), and advocates of the semantic engine as a model of the mind (cf. Dennett, 1981; Haugeland, 1981) with both schools remaining cooly contemptuous of the other. But a possible taxonomy of Engines does not stop at a black and white choice of either syntactic or semantic, because of the possibility ....

....to Representation Covariational Approaches. System detectable error is a criterion that can not be satisfied by standard approaches to representation in terms of informational covariances correspondences between representing states and that which is to be represented (Dretske, 1981; Fodor, 1990b; Hanson, 1990) In fact, one problem that emerges for standard approaches is that of the possibility of representational error at all, setting aside any issues of the system detectability of representational error. If the representationally constitutive correspondence exists, then the ....

Learning in Non-superpositional Quantum Neurocomputers - Chrisley (1996) (Correct)
.... the quantum field the form required for the two slit behaviour only by having both slits open) Even if the (seemingly desperate) request for belief in the existence of a sub quantum level a level for which we have no evidence is granted, the above response must face the disjunction problem [Fodor, 1991]. Pylkkanen wants to say that the meaning of the quantum field is that there are two slits open, even though there is only one slit open, because some sub quantum process p affects the quantum field in such a way as to give it the shape that it usually has when two slits are open. But on what ....

On the Objects of Belief - Spohn (Correct)
....to be rather imperfect attempts to approximate the latter. Of course, one would like to learn more about the nature of this approximation. The literature offers an extensive discussion of this issue under the title disjunction problem 22 Lewis (1981) makes this quite clear. 14 (for example Fodor 1990, ch. 3 and 4) For my present purposes, however, I do not have to evaluate this discussion. 23 There is a second, even more basic problem. Our characterization of belief sets and belief contents is still inadequate. Until this point I have assumed the conventional view that belief contents are ....

If it is undeniable that the meaning of brown cow is constructed from the There are causal theories of meaning around; see, for example, Skinner (1957) Dretske (1981) and Fodor (1991) among many others. And each of them implies a corresponding notion of analyticity. But all these theories are externalist and atomist and thus offer no comfort either to New Testament Semantics or to holism. They don t legitimate a construal of meaning in terms of analytic inference because they ....
