Fodor/LeporeVsConnectionsm: the connectionists draw charts in which the labels (name of the node) say what the intentional interpretation is supposed to be. But no theory explains how the node came to its label.

Representation/neurophysiological/mind/brain/Fodor/LeporeVsChurchland: colors are not represented as frequencies. The brain represents red things as red and aunts as aunts (not as objects with certain psychophysical properties). Otherwise we could find out anything with introspection. There are very different interpretations of its charts possible.
