Have a little read: ... Word Count: 1448 Is computer modelling useful in understanding human cognition? What does this tell us about human intelligence? Computers have been used to study mental faculties since the 1940's when computers were first developed.

Cognitive psychologists use artificial intelligence as a model for human cognition because it is very difficult to measure processes of cognition in the brain. However, this is only relevant if Cognitive psychologists assume that human intelligence works in the same way as computer intelligence. Artificial intelligence is of great human interest and concern. It is human nature to desire
