Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks about Pylyshyn's position on explaining behavior. 
Option A: 'A description of the brain, in the terms of neuroscience, is the ultimate goal of the cognitive sciences.' This overstates his view. Pylyshyn argued that cognitive science should focus on mental representations and symbolic/computational explanations rather than reducing everything to neurophysiological description alone. So this is not his core claim.
Option B: 'A physical description of an organism and its environment suffices to explain its behavior.' This is more aligned with a purely behaviorist or physicalist account, which Pylyshyn criticized. He maintained that to truly explain cognition we need to talk about mental states and representations, not merely physical correlates. Therefore this option is incorrect.
Option C: 'All of the other answers are correct.' Since A and B are not correct representations of Pylyshyn's stance, this meta-option cannot be correct. It would be inconsistent with his emphasis on mental states and representations.
Option D: 'To explain behavior we must appeal to the meanings of our mental states.' This reflects Pylyshyn's position that cognitive explanations require attention to internal mental states and their meanings (i.e., representations and their content), rather than reducing explanations to brain states or purely physical descriptions. This option correctly captures his core claim.
In summary, A and B misstate his emphasis on mental representations, C is incorrect because A and B are not correct, and D accurately states the key idea attributed to Pylyshyn about explaining behavior through meanings of mental states.
