Newell Test Should Commit to Diagnosing Dysfunctions

摘要

Conceptual coordination analysis bridges connectionism and symbolic approaches by posting a 'process memory' by which categories are physically coordinated (as neural networks) in time. Focusing on dysfunctions and odd behaviors like slips reveals the function of consciousness, especially taken-for-granted constructive processes, different from conventional programming constructs. Newell strongly endorsed identifying architectural limits; the heuristic of 'diagnose unusual behaviors' will provide targets of opportunity that greatly strengthens the Newell Test.
