Description
Cognitive Ecology identifies the richness of input to our sensory evaluations, from our cultural heritage and philosophies
of aesthetics to perceptual cognition and judgment. Integrating the arts, humanities, and sciences, Cognitive Ecology
investigates the relationship of perception and cognition to wider issues of how science is conducted, and how the questions we ask about
perception influence the answers we find. Part One discusses how issues of the human mind are inseparable from the culture from which
the investigations arise, how mind and environment co-define experience and actions, and how culture otherwise influences cognitive function.
Part Two outlines how philosophical themes of aesthetics have guided psychological research, and discuss the physical and aesthetic perception
of music, film, and art. Part Three presents an overview of how the senses interact for sensory evaluation.
Audience
Researcher professionals, educators, and graduate students in the social sciences, including cognitive and perceptual psychology, sociology, philosophy of science, and the arts.
