He Then Describes Clearly And Simply The Nature Of Symbols And The Theory Of Computation, And Follows With Sections Devoted To Current Computational Models Of How The Mind Carries Out All Its Major Tasks, Including Visual Perception, Learning, Memory, The Planning And Control Of Actions, Deductive And Inductive Reasoning, And The Formation Of New Concepts And New Ideas. Other Sections Discuss Human Communication, Meaning, The Progress That Has Been Made In Enabling Computers To Understand Natural Language, And Finally The Difficult Problems Of The Conscious And Unconscious Mind, Free Will, Needs And Emotions, And Selfawareness. In An Envoi, The Author Responds To The Critics Of Cognitive Science And Defends The Computational View Of The Mind As An Alternative To Traditional Dualism: Cognitive Science Integrates Mind And Matter Within The Same Explanatory Framework.This First Singleauthored Introduction To Cognitive Science Will Command The Attention Of Students Of Cognitive Science At All Levels Including Psychologists, Linguists, Computer Scientists, Philosophers, And Neuroscientistsas Well As All Readers Curious About Recent Knowledge On How The Mind Works.
