title: Interactive coordination processes: How the brain accomplishes what we take for granted in computer languages creator: Clancey, W J. subject: Cognitive Psychology subject: Computational Neuroscience subject: Neural Nets subject: Developmental Psychology description: An example of sending two messages in an e-mail program reveals a fundamental sequence-construction mechanism by which perceptual categories and motor schema are automatically generalized. By this mechanism, the human brain accomplishes more flexibly what we take for granted in stored-program computers-ordered steps (a sequence of operators in a problem space), variable bindings, conditional statements, and subgoaling. publisher: Greenwich: Ablex Publishing Corporation contributor: Pylyshyn, Z. date: 1998 type: Book Chapter type: NonPeerReviewed format: text/html identifier: http://cogprints.org/477/1/148.htm identifier: Clancey, W J.
