True or false: The human brain contains copies of Beethoven's 5th Symphony.

True or false: Newborns are equipped with reflexes that are important for their survival.

Newborns are born with information, data, rules, software, knowledge, lexicons, representations, algorithms, programs, models, memories, images, processors, subroutines, encoders, decoders, symbols, or buffers.

Humans have physical memories, just like computers.

Computers operate on symbolic representations of the world, while humans do not.

The invention of hydraulic engineering in the 3rd century BCE led to the popularity of a hydraulic model of human intelligence.

True or false: The IP metaphor is based on a faulty syllogism.

True or false: Visualizing something is more accurate than seeing it in person.

True or false: The mathematician John von Neumann compared the human brain to a telegraph.

True or false: Recognizing something requires reliving the perceptual experience.

True or false: The Human Brain Project launched by the European Union aimed to create a simulation of the entire human brain on a supercomputer by 2023.

True or false: The IP metaphor has produced numerous insights and has been widely accepted in the field of neuroscience.

True or false: The uniqueness problem suggests that no two individuals will have the same changes in their brain after experiencing the same event.

True or false: The brain's 86 billion neurons can be simulated in a computer, but the pattern of their activity would be meaningless outside the brain.

True or false: The mainstream view is that humans and computers make sense of the world by performing computations on mental representations.

True or false: According to McBeath and his colleagues, catching a fly ball requires the player to continuously analyze an internal model of the ball's trajectory.
