Items related to Cognitive Science: An Introduction to Mind and Brain
Synopsis
Cognitive Science is a major new guide to the central theories and problems in the study of the mind and brain. The authors clearly explain how and why cognitive science aims to understand the brain as a computational system that manipulates representations. They identify the roots of cognitive science in Descartes - who argued that all knowledge of the external world is filtered through some sort of representation - and examine the present-day role of Artificial Intelligence, computing, psychology, linguistics and neuroscience.
Throughout, the key building blocks of cognitive science are clearly illustrated: perception, memory, attention, emotion, language, control of movement, learning, understanding and other important mental phenomena. Cognitive Science:
- presents a clear, collaborative introduction to the subject
- is the first textbook to bring together all the different strands of this new science in a unified approach
- includes illustrations and exercises to aid the student

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Cognitive science has become a major development for the study of the mind/brain. Its origins date back to Descartes and his belief that knowledge of the external world is filtered through some form of representation. Today, cognitive science aims to understand the brain's psychological and linguistic processes as computational systems which manipulate representation. As a science of cognition, it investigates all our cognitive abilities such as perception, memory, emotion, language and learning, bringing together the work of psychologists, neuroscientists, computer scientists, anthropologists, philosophers and linguists. A clear, collaborative introduction and the first textbook to present a unified approach to the different strands of cognitive science. Including illustrations, exercises and glossary, this will prove invaluable to all students of cognition.
