An Invitation to Cognitive Science: Methods, Models, and Conceptual Issues


Add your own review!

Overview

Volume four of this series spans a variety of areas of cognitive science. Chapters explore artificial intelligence, neural network models, animal cognition, signal detection theory, computational models, reaction-time methods and cognitive neuroscience. The volume also offers introductions to several general methods and theoretical approaches for analyzing the mind and shows how some of these approaches are applied in the development of quantitative models. Rather than general and inevitably superficial surveys of the areas, the contributors present case studies - detailed accounts of one or two achievements within an area.
