The aim of this work is to identify, mainly from un episternological
point of view, the diferent meanings of the so-called computer metaphor
(or computational metaphor) of the mind in the development of cognitive
psychology, both from a classical perspective and from the more recent
connectionist metaphor of the mind. Following in part the taxonomy proposed
by Black (1961), every possible meaning of the computational metaphor
of the mind is analysed, as well as its efficiency as un epistemological
method for the treatment of the mental processes. The diferent
meanings of the term ccmodelw in cognitive psychology are also discussed, establishing similarities and differences with respect to the terms (canalogyw
or ccmetaphoru, which are frequently used as synonyms of model.
We conclude that the computational metaphor can be interpreted according
to one of Black's proposals, the metaphor as interaction. We also
conclude the need to establish a basic kernel of equivalences to guarantee
an isomorphism between the human mind and the computer
