I'd say that the classification of a cat as a cat is a fundamentally different process from, say, solving a complex math problem. The main difference seems to be that the former is a subconscious process and the latter is conscious, but it's more than that because to solve the complex problem we're relying on explicit selective recall from our long term memory then transferring that knowledge to our short term memory for conscious processing. I don't think this transfer of information from long term to short term memory occurs when looking at a cat. |
