Modularity and Specialized Learning: Reexamining Behavior-Based Artificial Intelligence (pdf)
Joanna J. Bryson, in the Proceedings of The Third International Conference on Development and Learning (ICDL'04): Developing Social Brains.
A slightly longer & less informative version was presented at Adaptive Behavior in Anticipatory Learning Systems (ABiALS'02), but missed being in the proceedings due to an error on my part. Final version: 20 September 2004.

Now for the Tricky Bit ...
(Originally “Consciousness Is Easy, but Learning Is Hard”) Joanna Bryson, invited article for The Philosopher's Magazine 28(4):70-72, 2004
Explains that everything with RAM has functional self awareness, video cameras have perfect memory, what makes us intelligent (and is computationally difficult) is generalising from experience, which involves forgetting / unconsciousness. PDF wanted … but you can get the first third of the article from the link.
