Rational Models of Cognition is the first book to gather together rece nt work on the rational analysis approach to understanding the human m ind. This new approach, most closely associated with the work of John R. Anderson, regards thinking as a faculty adapted to the structure of the world. Chapters, written by some of the world's leading researche rs in memory, categorization, reasoning, and search, show how the powe r of rational analysis can be applied to the central question of how h umans think. This book will be of interest to students and researchers in cognitive psychology, cognitive science, and animal behavior.
