You might want to look at "The Society of Mind" by Minsky if you
haven't seen it already. I'm not a particular fan of it myself, but I
seem to remember that he uses the metaphor of "building blocks" for
thought (using the exact words "building blocks", in fact;
web.media.mit.edu/~push/ExaminingSOM.html ).

Thanks, I'll check it out.

In the meantime, I thought of another "Cognitive Paradigm" Experiment:

1.) Visualize in your mind a Purple Kangaroo.

Most people did not in fact visualize a "living" Kangaroo. Instead,
the majority of people visualized a "Cartoon-Type" image of one. Your
brain did this because it has no prior experience with a Purple
Kangaroo. Instead, your brain searched its Cognitive Paradigms for
those that match this specific request. Visualizing a "Cartoon-Type"
image
was the only way in which most people's brains could respond as the
brain does have prior experience with cartoon images. Yes, a person
may respond that if they force themselves to visualize a living purple
kangaroo then one can see one. I am fully aware of this. This
experiment in question only has merit if the person remains unaware of
the motivations of the tester and what was in fact being tested. In
this light, the person's initial response to the above experiment is
essential.
