Merlin Donald
Merlin Wilfred Donald (born November 17, 1939) is a Canadian psychologist,Neuroanthropologist and cognitive neuroscientist,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Merlin Donald-Adjunct Professor of Cognitive Science )〕 at Case Western University. He is noted for the position that evolutionary processes need to be considered in determining how the mind deals with symbolic information and language. In particular, he suggests that explicit, algorithmic processes (the computational theory of mind) may be inadequate to understanding how the mind works〔
quote:
The problem of symbolic reference has always been the Achilles heel of computational approaches to language. The difficulty is this : to understand or use a symbol appropriately in context you must first understand what it represents, and this referential understanding is inherently nonsymbolic.〕
==Biography==
He received his degrees in Canada, culminating in his Ph.D. in neuropsychology from McGill University in 1968. Following three years on the faculty of Yale School of Medicine, he joined the faculty of Queen's University at Kingston in 1972 and is still professor emeritus at Queen's. In the fall of 2005, Donald became the founding chair of the cognitive science department at Case Western Reserve University. He has since retired as the chair of that department and is currently an adjunct professor within the university.
