Opis

Understanding cognition is a central goal for psychology. It is also studied in computer science, where the goal is to develop design principles for artificial intelligence agents. Finally, many researchers in the neurosciences seek to understand how the brain produces the mind. Exploring human cognition, this work is an attempt to state what is now understood and not understood about the mind as a result of efforts in all three of these disciplines.

In sum, this volume is an exciting development in textbook writing. It opens up doors to different ways of learning and teaching. Moreover, it is clearly unique."
