People used to assume that computation properly so called is digital, and the debate in cognitive science was between "classical" (LOT) digital computation and "nonclassical" (connectionist in the narrow sense) digital computation.
These assumptions are wrong and badly misleading.
There is a lot more to computation than digital computation.
The debate in cognitive science should be broader as well, between different kinds of computation.
