Answer to Question 1

Answer: A dissociation means that an activity or a variable affects performance on one task. In double dissociation, an activity or variable affects one process (P1) but not another (P2) while a second activity or variable has the opposite affect (impairs P2 but not P1). Double dissociations provide strong evidence for two processes.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: AI researchers believe that human cognition is so complex that creating a processing system that performs similar tasks can provide insight into human cognition. While the AI approach can lead to important insights, AI research often ignores how processing takes place in the brain.
