Computational theory of mind (CTM)

The computational theory of mind (CTM) has evolved to the point where it is related to earlier theories of cognition and the mind. According to CTM's view of dualism, minds are computational entities that process information provided by bodies as input, while bodies serve as the vehicle for feeling or experience (Jackendoffian, 1987). This portrayal of minds and bodies as the mechanical conductors of information from the outside world creates a duality in the idea. When considering this connection to dualism, CTM sees behavior as the result of the mind's computing processes. As a result, its relationship to behaviorism appears as an interaction between mind and behavior.

CTM, on the other hand, views mental activity as a form of computing. The mind is viewed as the function itself, as was previously stated in the series' prior episode. In this sense, CTM specifies the function in terms of the computational processes, as well as how the function operates (Turing, 2004). According to the hypothesis, the mental processes that separate the computational human mind from the mechanical computational machine involve self-recognition and may even involve self-determination (Turing, 2004). The Turing test and other sentience tests are used to evaluate this distinction. The Turing test aims to determine whether a computer program can fool a person into thinking it is intelligent or human-like.
