According to Marr a complex organism or artefact can be describes at which of the following three levels:
A) representation and algorithm; hardware implementation; neural substrate
B) computational theory; representation and algorithm; hardware implementation
C) computational theory; neural substrate; hardware substrate
D) neural substrate; hardware implementation; representation and algorithm

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Marr proposed that complex organisms or artefacts can be described at three levels: the computational level (what the system does), the algorithmic/representational level (how it does it), and the hardware implementation level (the physical realization of the system). These three levels can be summarized as computational theory, representation and algorithm, and hardware implementation, which are all included in option B. Option A is incorrect because it switches the order of the second and third levels listed by Marr. Option C is incorrect because it omits the algorithmic/representational level. Option D is incorrect because it lists the levels in a different order compared to Marr's original proposal.
