I think it is an excellent definition for one mode of human intelligence, but is incomplete to cover the whole range of human cognition. Take a look at Bloom's Taxonomy of learning levels. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom%27s_Taxonomy>. It gives six levels of cognition. Your definition seems to be a good description of level 3. But to achieve human-like intelligence, all six levels would have to be covered. I believe it would take at least six definitions to cover the continuum of activities involved in cognition. -- Harvey Newstrom CISSP CISA CISM CIFI NSA-IAM GSEC ISSAP ISSMP ISSPCS IBMCP ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=63164311-22aa17
