He said, essentially, that cognition is as cognition does (or, more accurately, as cognition is capable of doing): Explain the causal basis of cognitive capacity and you?ve explained cognition. Test your explanation by designing a machine that can do everything a normal human cognizer can do ? and do it so veridically that human cognizers cannot tell its performance apart from a real human cognizer?s ? and you really cannot ask for anything more. Or can you? Neither Turing modelling nor any other kind of computational r dynamical modelling will explain how or why cognizers feel.
