Explanation
A. The passage does not make a claim about the difficulty of constructing computer models as an index of the difficulty of performing those tasks by humans.
B. The passage suggests a link between our understanding of computer modeling and human cognition but does not claim that understanding a computer's abilities improves our understanding of our own abilities.
C. The passage does not equate a computer's ability to defeat a chess champion with the possession of true intelligence.
D. (Correct Response) The passage implies that because it is easier to model reasoning tasks than to model the processing of sense images, our understanding of reasoning (analytical capabilities) is better than our understanding of sense processing. This principle suggests that the ease of constructing a computer model correlates with our understanding of the process being modeled.
E. The passage does not argue for or against underestimating the usefulness of computer modeling; it simply compares our understanding of different cognitive capabilities.
