This unique volume focuses on computing systems that exhibit intelligent behavior. As such, it discusses research aimed at building a computer that has the same cognitive architecture as the mind -- permitting evaluations of it as a model of the mind -- and allowing for comparisons between computer performance and experimental data on human performance. It also examines architectures that permit large, complex computations to be performed -- and questions whether the computer so structured can handle these difficult tasks intelligently.

This volume explores the concept of implicit memory, taking it to mean that prior experience affects behaviour without the individual's appreciation of this influence. It also examines the opposite concept, metacognition, and explores the inter-relationship between the two fields.

Understanding visual perceptional organization remains a challenge for vision science. This manual explores ideas emanating from behavioural, developmental, neurophysiological, neuropsychological and computational approaches to the problem of visual perceptual organization. Based on papers presented at the 31st Carnegie Symposium on Cognition, held in June 2000, it addresses how the growing body of research on perceptual organization has converged on a number of critical issues including: the stimulus factors that engage the mechanisms of organization; the temporal stage of processing at...

The chapters in Thinking With Data are based on presentations given at the 33rd Carnegie Symposium on Cognition. The Symposium was motivated by the confluence of three emerging trends: the increasing need for people to think effectively with data at work, at school, and in everyday life, the expanding technologies available to support people as they think with data, and the growing scientific interest in understanding how people think with data. What is thinking with data? communicate the information present in complex numerical, categorical, and graphical data. This book offers a...

This volume covers several perspectives on autism which bring together the most recent scientific views of the nature of this disorder. A number of themes organize major developments and emerging areas in autism:
Cognitive and neural systems development: how autism arises in the behavior and thought of very young children.
Discovering brain mechanisms underlying social and cognitive deficits in autism: how we can explain "social awkwardness" and poor language comprehension in terms of malfunctions of brain mechanisms, revealed by fMRI studies of people with...

The research on human expertise and complex skill acquisition that Wlliam G. Chase performed in the decade between publication of the classic chess studies he conducted with Herb Simon in 1973 and his untimely and tragic death has proven profoundly influential and enduring. Its impact spans disciplines that include Psychology, Computer Science, Education, Cognitive Neuroscience, Medicine, and Human Factors. It has contributed significantly to the emergence of Cognitive Engineering and has led to significant applications in the areas of training and instruction and knowledge-based...
