Lecture 17: Pattern Recognition and Representation Bearers (Turvey, 2019, Lectures on Perception)

Last Lecture Turvey reviewed the basics of the computational approach, and highlighted again how it is just the latest iteration of the Cartesian programme. In this Lecture, he explores the specific topic of pattern recognition, which has been a major topic in the computational approach and exemplifies many of the major problems. These problems primarily boil down to systems requiring loans of intelligence to even come close to working.
