Synopsis

An Invitation to Cognitive Science provides a point of entry into the vast realm ofcognitive science, offering selected examples of issues and theories from many of its subfields. Allof the volumes in the second edition contain substantially revised and as well as entirely newchapters.Rather than surveying theories and data in the manner characteristic of many introductorytextbooks in the field, An Invitation to Cognitive Science employs a unique case study approach,presenting a focused research topic in some depth and relying on suggested readings to convey thebreadth of views and results. Each chapter tells a coherent scientific story, whether developingthemes and ideas or describing a particular model and exploring its implications.The volumes areself contained and can be used individually in upper-level undergraduate and graduate coursesranging from introductory psychology, linguistics, cognitive science, and decision sciences, tosocial psychology, philosophy of mind, rationality, language, and vision science.
