Looking at the computers memory in physical terms, studies of memory and inner states started with humans, thus developing cognitive psychology. The artificial intelligence in a computer follows a certain set of rules. This brought up the first problem in trying to say that computers and human brains are the same. Human brains do not work on a set of rules but learn from experience. This brings up the point that computers cannot think on their own.
Humans gain knowledge from being in the world and learning through experience.
The main difference about human brains and computers in the physical difference. Human brains are biological and computers aren't. Being biologically alive makes the human brain special and they knowledge gained can be wider than something that has ceilings on the learning variety. The chapter sprung new ideas of how similar the human brain and computer are. There are obvious differences between humans and computers, but when we look at the underlying structure of both, the similarities seem to pile up.
