Should I understand that an effect is a manifestation of a capacity? Would it be specific of it or common to other capacities?

As I believe Cummins sees this: Capacities are special types of effects, which usually aren't called effects. What are usually called effects in exp cog psych are by products of *how* people excercise their cogn capacities, ie by which mechanisms.

Different agents (eg human, machine, alien) could have the same capacities (eg arithmatic), but different mechanisms by which they achieve them. When these agents would excercise this capacity they would display different effects.

So, a capacity can be manifested in different effects. Shouldn't we then identify which ones belong to which capacity in order to define the capacity and be able to measure it? Or this is going to far?

We are misaligned in terminology.

I would use terms as follows: Capacities can by manifested by different mechanisms.

There is a one-to-many relation between capacity and mechanisms. Think of capacity as function as mechanism as algorithm.

It is the different Ai that may produce different effects.

Yes, my pigeons used to love a one-to-many relation ;)
