Also I'm a computational cognitive modeler... Of course I think the brain computes.

I would say that all models are theories, formal comp. models are just more specific than box/arrow. No ideas are a theoretical IMO
-
I would disagree, only the models where we have a hypothesis of how they work, are theories.
-
No, a model is a theory regardless of whether we understand how it works. All formal models have unexplored hypotheses. >

< e.g. I have published models 10 yrs ago and am still discovering their latent hypotheses. It's a fertile ground for new work
-
Yeah, we disagree on this.
-
But I don't think it's a problem. I see specifications of models as approximate theories. But model == theory? Not for me.

So what's the difference? 140 characters... Go! :)

A theory makes predictions and explanations, models are a loose subset with overlap of that where they may make predictions that are wrong
