ion processing architecture of a human is something like the three-level architecture developed by Sloman in the Cognition and Affect project (25) (H-Cogaff), shown in Figure 1. This conjecture is based on evidence of many kinds from several disciplines, and constraints on evolvability, implementability

Moreover, Mr. Epstein has sponsored and chair

ed later. Adult humans appear to have all three types of processing, which is probably rare among other animals. One of the key features that gives H-Cogaff its generality is the fact that different components, instead of forming parts of simple pipelines, can concurrently send information of various kin
