Here, several leading experts in the area of cognitive science summarize their current research programs, tracing Herbert A. Simon's influence on their own work -- and on the field of information processing at large. Topics covered include problem- solving, imagery, reading, writing, memory, expertise, instruction, and learning. Collectively, the chapters reveal a high degree of coherence across the various specialized disciplines within cognition -- a coherence largely attributable to the initial unity in Simon's seminal and pioneering contributions.

Review

It is an impressive book, a worthy tribute to a man who pioneered and has continued to be at the forefront of cognitive science....Overall, I acquired a clearer view of and a deeper appreciation for Simon's impact on cognition. The chapters are well written, always beginning with a straightforward mission statement....the excellent illustrations throughout usually compensated more than adequately. When students tell me at the of a course Thanks, I learned a lot, I take it as a compliment. I extend that same compliment to the editors and authors of this book, and especially to Herbert A. Simon.
