Summary: Puts forward influential criticisms on behaviorism. Discussed "Representational Theory of the Mind" in which mental states are computational relations that organism bear to mental representation are internally structured much like sentences in a natural language, in that they have both syntactic structure and a compositional semantics. Supports hypothesis on mental architecture in which low-level sensory systems (and language) are "modular" because they're informally encapsulated" from the higher-level"central" systems responsible for belief formation, decision-making and the like.
