AbstractThe term 'information' is used extensively in biology, cognitive science and the philosophy of consciousness in relation to the concepts of 'meaning' and 'causation'. ...
On this view, and in biological contexts, systems transmit, acquire, assimilate, decode and manipulate it, and in so doing, generate meaning. ...
Of course, biological meaning comes in many forms. I am not sure how contentious it would be if one were to try to make a tentative list of these forms. ...

We defend the relevance to cognitive science of both computation, at least in a generic sense, and information processing, in three important senses of the term. ...
Many psychologists and neuroscientists reject it. If we adopt an all-encompassing notion of computation, we have no way to make sense of this debate. ...
