First, the empirical ‘resemblance’ between brains and neural nets is no
|
||
guarantee that the latter are inherently superior to other, less neurologically ‘realistic’ models of cognition. For it is the nature of the
|
||
appropriate criterion for ‘realism’ that is in question here: should it be
|
||
neurobiological? Or psychological? Churchland cannot simply assume
|
||
that the two necessarily overlap.
|
||
Second, in the absence of any adequate understanding of the precise
|
||
nature of the correlation between psychological function and neural
|
||
structure, whatever putative resemblance might obtain between neural
|
||
architecture and network architecture sheds no light whatsoever on
|
||
the relation between the latter and the abstract functional architecture
|
||
of cognition. Where network architecture is concerned, although some
|
||
degree of biological plausibility is desirable, empirical data alone are not
|
||
sufficient when it comes to identifying the salient functional characteristics of cognition.10
|
||
We will not pursue this issue further here. But we must now consider
|
||
a still more damaging objection which is frequently raised against EM:
|
||
that its very formulation is fundamentally incoherent.
