The Computational Metaphor and Cognitive Psychology
The past three decades have witnessed a remarkable growth of research interest in the mind. This trend has
been acclaimed as the ‘cognitive revolution’ in psychology. At the heart of this revolution lies the claim that
the mind is a computational system. The purpose of this paper is both to elucidate this claim and to evaluate
its implications for cognitive psychology. The nature and scope of cognitive psychology and cognitive
science are outlined, the principal assumptions underlying the information processing approach to cognition
are summarised and the nature of artificial intelligence and its relationship to cognitive science are
explored. The ‘computational metaphor’ of mind is examined and both the theoretical and methodological
issues which it raises for cognitive psychology are considered. Finally, the nature and significance of ‘connectionism’—
the latest paradigm in cognitive science—are briefly reviewed.17/12/2013. SB
The Collaborative Ocular Tuberculosis Study (COTS) Consensus (CON) Group Meeting Proceedings
An international, expert led consensus initiative was set up by the Collaborative Ocular Tuberculosis Study (COTS) group to develop systematic, evidence, and experience-based recommendations for the treatment of ocular TB using a modified Delphi technique process. In the first round of Delphi, the group identified clinical scenarios pertinent to ocular TB based on five clinical phenotypes (anterior uveitis, intermediate uveitis, choroiditis, retinal vasculitis, and panuveitis). Using an interactive online questionnaires, guided by background knowledge from published literature, 486 consensus statements for initiating ATT were generated and deliberated amongst 81 global uveitis experts. The median score of five was considered reaching consensus for initiating ATT. The median score of four was tabled for deliberation through Delphi round 2 in a face-to-face meeting. This report describes the methodology adopted and followed through the consensus process, which help elucidate the guidelines for initiating ATT in patients with choroidal TB. © 2020 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC
