The architectural focus of Artificial intelligence is intended to be a representation of the mind, which is to depict the functionality of human cognition. For the first note-worthy representation of the mind is the Symbolic Artificial Intelligence known as GOFAI. However, GOFAI has become an unsatisfying portrayal of human cognition, because it depicts that the mind is nothing more than a system that manipulates symbols (Dreyfus, ppXXI). Consequently, GOFAI turns behavioural knowledge into formal script, which lacks an essential aspects of the mind, such as procedural knowledge. For GOFAI possesses information about the actions it desires to perform, yet is limited to abiding to the set of rules that are written in to it’s programming. Consequently,

Insofar, GOFAI lacks the ability to reconfigure it database of knowledge, to find different methods that would enable it to perform the action. Moreover, there remains the concept of Connectionism, which demonstrates itself to be a better representation of the mind, because it simulates the functionality of the brain. For the theory of Connectionism isn’t limited to being a symbol manipulator, rather it replicates the neural structure of the brain, in how it processes and reconfigures information. Therefore, the Connectionist model serves to be a stronger depiction of the mind, because it doesn 't reduce, nor equate the human cognition to a symbolic …show more content…
For this particular architecture represents the mind in respect to the neural structure of the brain, which is comparable to the processing network of a Parallel System (Walmsley pp91). For the Connectionist model, represents how the brain processes inputted information, which then goes through a complex cognitive process that results in a particular effect (Walmsley, pp90). Insofar, Connectionism is a representation of the brain, to demonstrate how it is capable of comprehending, recognizing, and learning. For the theory focuses on how the vast number of neurons act as a processing system by wiring, and firing information (Walmsley, pp90). Moreover, this is a method of how cognition processes inputs from an external stimulus, that goes through the hidden layer(s) (the approximate amount of time taken to react which is less than 100 milliseconds), which results in a particular
