| | The Symbol Grounding Problem |
 | | Symbols have the computing power of Turing Machines and the systematic properties of a formal syntax that is semantically interpretable. | | | Symbol systems' ability to generate intelligent behavior is demonstrated by the successes of Artificial Intelligence. | | | An early rival to the symbolic model of mind appeared (Rosenblatt 1962), was overcome by symbolic AI (Minsky and Papert 1969) and has recently re-appeared in a stronger form that is currently vying with AI to be the general theory of cognition and behavior (McClelland, Rumelhart et al. |
