Information on the evolution of intelligence.

[bobhikes]

Its hard to explain without drawings. Evolution happened with intelligence as well as everything else. I have pieced together 3 versions I believe exist. I believe I came across some scientist with simlar results.

 

Simple intelligence

External inputs feed directly to the sensors causing a reaction which spurs an action.

 

Similar to a plant bending to light.

 

intermediate intelligence

External inputs feed directly to the sensors causing a reaction emotionally tagged information feeds into an organizational area which can also effect an action. Actions created can be picked up by the sensors again creating a feedback loop.

 

Most animals

 

Advanced intelligence.

External inputs feed directly to the sensors causing a reaction emotionally tagged information feeds into an organizational area which can also effect an action. The organizational area has a direct loop back into the emotional area to spur an imediate change. There is also still the feed back loop of actions to sensors.

 

Advanced animals

 

Any information or direction would be helpful.

We can do a little better. We can do abstract thought, create formal systems for thought (logic), and create devices that help us with thought (notepads, computers).

What I am looking for is a block diagram about how intelligence works. Not all the specifics. Like if you were telling a person how to drive a car. You wouldn't worry about all the specifics just the necessary elements.

 

Key, Gas, Pedals, Steering etc.

 

I am now studing Psychology and it is helping a bit but I have many disagreements and believe it is still at to deep a level.

 

It is like trying to build a computer looking only at the electronic level of newest computers and how all the ones and zero's work. If you knew nothing about computers it would almost be impossible to understand and recreate.

 

To fully understand it you need to understand the progression to get to it.
