Abstract
One of the basic assumptions in cognitive neuropsychology is that we can characterize a cognitive process as a set of representations that are computed in the course of cognitive performance, i.e., in the course of object recognition, sentence understanding, and the like. A principal task of the cognitive neuropsychologist is to describe the series of representations (R2) that are computed in the course of these cognitive activities. For any interesting cognitive process there are a series of representations that are assumed to intervene between the inputs and outputs of the process: I(nput) → R1, R2,… Ri,… → O(utput).
