Editorial Review Product Description The textbook grounds theoretical issues by reference to a concrete scenario throughout each chapter: a family conversing over breakfast. The opening chapter discusses the emergence and nature of Cognitive Science and introduces the topics of succeeding chapters in the context of the scenario. The next two chapters describe work at the heart of the discipline: the nature of mental computation and the architecture of the mind. No single text can hope to cover the diversity and breadth of research and so succeeding chapters are exemplars of the discipline. A chapter on how we perceive objects and faces and one on how we speak and perceive speech is followed by a chapter on how we read. In each case the student is led through the computational questions. The following three chapters concern the nature of language and language use. The first focuses on the structure of sentences, the second on meaning and collaborative processes in conversation and the third on the question of how communicative competence develops. How we learn, remember and solve problems is the focus of the next two chapters and a variety of computational approaches are surveyed and considered. How we act in the world on the basis of our knowledge is considered in the final chapters. Customer Reviews (2)
a good teaching text
This book is poorly written and poorly produced. Avoid. It's poorly conceived and shoddily put together, giving only limited coverage of a complex and significant field. Major themes are left out or underdeveloped, and frequently important theoretical standpoints are glossed over without reference to key works. Green tends to put forward only the side of an argument which he agrees with - frequently completely failing to mention the alternatives. This, combined with only minimal guidelines for further reading, make it almost impossible to use this book as a resource guiding further study. Ironically, considering that one of Green's specialities is in the cognitive processes of language and communication, this book is so badly written as to be almost incomprehensible. The language used is awkward, strung with non sequiturs, and frustratingly littered with unexplained and undefined jargon. The one positive thing I can say about this textbook is that it's relatively cheap. However, it's also of very little use. I'd strongly urge you to consider the alternatives - for example, Eysenck & Keane's 'Cognitive Psychology: a student's handbook' (I've been using the 1995 3rd edition), which covers most of the same information (and quite a lot which Green's book ignores), in much more detail and in a far more readable style. ...

69. Handbook of Phenomenology and Cognitive Science | |

Editorial Review Product Description The Handbook of Phenomenology and Cognitive Science contains a comprehensive and authoritative overview of the main ideas and methods currently used at the intersection of phenomenology and the neuro- and cognitive sciences. The idea that phenomenology, in the European continental tradition, has something to offer to the cognitive sciences is a relatively recent development in our attempt to understand the mind. Here in one volume the leading researchers in this area address the central topics that define the intersection between phenomenological studies and the cognitive sciences. They address questions about methodology, the analysis of perception, memory, imagination, attention, emotion, intersubjectivity, the role of the body and language, and they explore a variety of pathologies that throw light on our everyday experiences. The authors draw on the classical works of phenomenologists such as Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Gurwitsch, and Sartre, but they also push the traditional lines of phenomenology to new boundaries, mapping out new terrain in connection with the empirical science of the mind and body. These essays are revelatory for both phenomenologists who want to understand what cognitive science can contribute to an understanding of experience, and for scientists who want to understand how they can use phenomenology in their empirical studies. |

Editorial Review Product Description This book revolutionizes how vision can be taught to undergraduate andgraduate students in cognitive science, psychology, and optometry. It isthe first comprehensive textbook on vision to reflect the integratedcomputational approach of modern research scientists. This newinterdisciplinary approach, called "vision science," integratespsychological, computational, and neuroscientific perspectives. The book covers all major topics related to vision, from early neuralprocessing of image structure in the retina to high-level visualattention, memory, imagery, and awareness. The presentation throughoutis theoretically sophisticated yet requires minimal knowledge ofmathematics. There is also an extensive glossary, as well as appendiceson psychophysical methods, connectionist modeling, and color technology.The book will serve not only as a comprehensive textbook on vision, butalso as a valuable reference for researchers in cognitive science,psychology, neuroscience, computer science, optometry, and philosophy.

Physics to Phenomenology
Psychology & Neurophysiology of Vision Science
I can't believe it's an one-author book
A book that's as good as its cover
A unique text for students and researchers alike. Palmer's book differs from other books on visualperception in three major ways. First, Palmer introduces the majortheoretical perspectives to visual perception--inferential, ecological andcomputational-- early in the text and then places empirical findingsthroughout the text in the context of these perspectives. Second, Palmerpresents findings from a number of disciplines in an integrated fashion. Asopposed to having separate sections for neuroscience, computer vision andperceptual development, for example, Palmer presents research from multipledisciplines as it relates to relevant areas of visual perception, such asperceptual organization or object recognition. Third, and perhaps mostimportantly, Palmer resists the temptation to dichotomize. The discussionsof the literature are sophisticated, presenting both the pros and the consof different approaches to phenomena in perception, even venturing topropose novel theoretical syntheses at various points in the book. Foranyone who is interested in visual perception, neuroscience, computervision, or just Cognitive Science in general, this is a book that you musthave on your book shelf. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Does a knowledge of Latin facilitate he learning of computer programming? Does skill in geometry make it easier to learn music? The issue of the transfer of learning from one domain to another is a classic problem in psychology as well as an educational question of great importance, which this ingenious new book sets out to solve through a theory of transfer based on a comprehensive theory of skill acquisition. The question was first studies systematically at the turn of the century by the noted psychologist Edward L. Thorndike, who proposed a theory of transfer based on common elements in two different tasks. Since then, psychologists of different theoretical orientations—verbal learning, gestalt, and information processing—have addressed the transfer question with differing and inconclusive results. Singley and Anderson resurrect Thorndike's theory of identical elements, but in a broader context and from the perspective of cognitive psychology. Making use o a powerful knowledge–representation language, they recast his elements into units of procedural and declarative knowledge in the ACT* theory of skill acquisition. One skill will transfer to another, they argue, to the extent that it involves the same productions or the same declarative precursors. They show that with production rules, ransfer can be localized to specific components—in keeping with Thorndike's theory—and yet still be abstract and mentalistic. The findings of this book have important implications for psychology and the improvement of teaching. They will interest cognitive scientists and educational psychologists, as well as computer scientists interested in artificial intelligence and cognitive modeling. |
