Many philosophers and psychologists have attempted to elucidate the nature of mental representation by appealing to notions like isomorphism or abstract structural resemblance. The ‘structural representations’ that these theorists champion are said to count as representations by virtue of functioning as internal models of distal systems.

Erkenntnis, 1978
AbstractArgues for postulating an inner ‘language’ in which thinking takes place, and proposes a means by which this postulate can be construed on functionalist lines. The functional theory is a purely causal one, and makes sense of only the syntactic and conceptual role properties of the inner language; and it is argued that, while the ...

Why there are no mental representations
Minds and Machines, 1991I argue that there are no mental representations, in the sense of “representation” used in standard computational theories of the mind.

They concern (1) our limited introspective access to the nature of lexical representations; (2) the existence of lexical entries that make accessible the sense of a word; (3) the effects of context on the interpretation of words; (4) the systematic gaps in the acquisition of ...

Mental representation and consciousness
2009Intentionality and consciousness are the fundamental kinds of mental phenomena.
