Computational-representational understanding of mind
Computational Representational Understanding of Mind (abbreviated CRUM) is an hypothesis in cognitive science which proposes that thinking is performed by computations operating on representations. This hypothesis assumes that the mind has mental representations analogous to data structures and computational procedures analogous to algorithms, such that computer programs using algorithms applied to data structures can model the mind and its processes.
There is much disagreement on this hypothesis, but CRUM has been the most theoretically and experimentally successful approach to mind ever developed (Paul Thagard, 2005).
