Robert Stainton, Philosophical Perspectives on Language Chapter 7 The Language Of Thought
Concepts/Terminology/Skills Language of thought Mentalese Intentional states Propositional attitudes Cognitive science Analogue representation Formulae Propositional attitude tokens Symbol tokens Syntactic derivations Manipulations of formula Connectionism Good old fashioned artificial intelligence Computational theory of the mind Computational theory of cognition Graceful degradation The framing problem Folk psychology Instrumentalistic Rationalistic Idealized Rational reconstruction Anthropology of the phenomena What are the three types of Idea Theories of Meaning that Stainton describes? (111) What does Stainton mean when he says that Grice wants to cash out conventional sentence meaning in terms of speaker meaning? (111) What does Stainton mean when he says that Grice wants to cash out speaker meaning in terms of speaker's intention? (111) Why does Stainton say that Grice doesn't really have a theory of ideas, only an idea theory of meaning? (111) What does Stainton mean when he says that Fodor wants to cash out conventional linguistic meaning in terms of belief/desire/states? (112) What are advantages of abandoning an analogue representation view of ideas and adopting a linear, propositional idea as the meaning of linguistic What is the language of thought hypothesis? (112) What similarities between thought and language does Stainton point out? (113) What is Fodor's argument for the language of thought containing constituent structure? (114) What does Stainton mean when he says that the central difference between the LOT hypothesis and other theories is that in LOT, in addition to being contentful, mental symbols have constituent structure? (113)
What is a combinatorial semantics? (114) What is Gilbert Harman's argument for a language of thought with constituent structure? (115) What is the argument for a language of thought that is based upon cognitive processes? (115) What dual aspect of representations does Stainton point out? (116) Why, according to Stainton, is it important that representations have a dual aspect, form as well as content? If there is no intentional causation, how can thinking (decision making, etc) work? What causes people to move from one contentful state to another? (116) Why does Stainton say that thinking is form based cognition rather than content based cognition? (116) How can we sum up Fodor's main argument for the existence of a language of thought (an argument based on concepts the from philosophy of mind). (119) What major difference does Stainton see between Thing Theories of meaning and Idea Theories of meaning? (118) Why, according to Stainton, do Idea Theories of meaning have two steps, while Thing Theories of meaning have only one? What is good old fashioned artificial intelligence? (120) What are some of the main differences Stainton points out between human brains and good old fashioned artificial intelligence machines? (120) According to Stainton, what is the most important distinction between Fodor's model of cognition and those of connectionists and Dennett? What is good old fashioned artificial intelligence? (120) Describe the main tenets of connectionism. (120) According to Stainton, what is the main goal of old fashioned artificial intelligence? (120) What things are computers better at than humans are? What things are humans better than computers at? Describe the speed of processing argument that Stainton gives as an argument against the computational model of cognition. (121) What is graceful degradation? (122) What are some of the main differences between Describe the frame problem. (122) What is the computational theory of mind? (122)
What are the main elements of a connectionist network? (122) What is the problem of graceful degradation? (122) What is the frame problem? (122) Describe NETalk (123) How does connectionism argue against the language of thought? (123-4) According to Stainton, what are the 3 main features of the connectionist network? Wh...
