Abstract

Three models of mind were proposed during the history of cognitive science: functionalist, psychological, and neural model. The functionalist model of mind is based on symbol manipulation (computation). This model has two versions: the conception of mind as an innate information processor and problem solver, and mind as innate cognitive and visual system. A psychological model of mind is the extension by “common sense”. The alternative is mind as a cognitive and visual system that is based mostly on manipulation of internal mental data. The neural model is the only model of embodied mind. It has two versions: non-pragmatic and pragmatic (autopoietic, distributed, and social mind).
