'''Computational representational understanding of mind''' ('''CRUM''') is a [[hypothesis]] in [[cognitive science]] which proposes that thinking is performed by [[computations]] operating on representations. This hypothesis assumes that the mind has [[mental representation]]s analogous to [[data structures]] and computational procedures analogous to [[algorithms]], such that computer programs using algorithms applied to data structures can model the mind and its processes <ref>{{Cite book|last=Lieto|first=Antonio|title=Cognitive Design for Artificial Minds|year=2021|___location=London, UK | publisher=Routledge, Taylor & Francis | isbn=9781138207929}}</ref>.

CRUM takes into consideration several theoretical approaches of understanding human [[cognition]], including [[logic]], [[:wikt:rule|rule]], [[concept]], [[analogy]], image, and connection based systems. These serve as the representation aspects of CRUM theory which are then acted upon to simulate certain aspects of human cognition, such as the use of [[rule-based systems]] in [[neuroeconomics]].
