About this title

Synopsis

This book aims to understand human cognition and psychology through a comprehensive computational theory of the mind, namely, a "cognitive architecture." The goal is to develop a unified framework for understanding the human mind, and within the unified framework, to develop process-based, mechanistic explanations of a variety of psychological phenomena.
