Recently I have reviewed a lot of e-Learning courses to get ideas for our further product development of easygenerator.

We may contrast cognitivism, which is a causal theory of mind, with connectionism, which is an emergentist theory of mind. This is not to say that connectionism (see also ) does away with causation altogether; it is not a ‘hand of God’ theory. It’s like asking, what makes a person a ‘bus driver’?
