In his essay, “Computing Machinery and Intelligence,” Alan Turing poses the question, “Can machines think?” (433). Turing takes the position that machines can, indeed, think depending on how one defines thought. Although he states that he “should begin with the definitions of the meaning of the terms ‘machine’ and ‘think,’” he does not directly provide the reader with his definition of thought (433). Instead, he spends a lengthy amount of time exploring a replacement question that manifests…

Logic:reasoning conducted or assessed according to strict principles of validity. Logic is the way to go. Logical reasoning is hard to explain since we still do not know where it comes from. It can either be given to us by the universe around us or we can just be born with it in our brains. It is a lot like simple intelligence in an individual. Some people are…

(WISC-V). The areas of cognitive processing ability measured include crystallized intelligence, short-term memory, visual-spatial processing, reasoning ability, and processing speed. The subtests measure different cognitive processing abilities and when combined together they form five index scores: Verbal Comprehension, Visual-Spatial, Fluid Reasoning, Working Memory and Processing Speed which all together make up the Full-Scale IQ score. Matthew obtained a score of 72 (3rd percentile) on the…

better yourself at critical thinking. In chapter 4 it discusses parts of thinking, such as “reasoning”, which is when you come to a conclusion you can make sense of . “When we think we reason”. So when we are critically thinking we must take thinking apart in order to locate the problem to come to a conclusion. In chapter 5 we start to understand the standards of thinking, which is when we assess our reasoning. In chapter 4 when we take apart thinking we must look for intellectual standards to…

College greatly takes Moral Reasoning in consideration letting students prove what is right and wrong which is part of our human nature in order to challenge real world scenarios such as future careers. As for…

extent. If it successfully dodges any failure, it is accepted as a true theory and henceforth, a justified belief. This is an inductive inference as it uses the past to predict future behaviours and serves as the justifying blocks of the Scientific reasoning. I will argue that induction cannot be a basis for justified true beliefs (Knowledge - certainty) as we haven 't come around any way for its justification. Moreover we will see how we can possibly justify the use of the scientific method…
