Description
The interdisciplinary field of cognitive science brings together elements of cognitive psychology, mathematics, perception, linguistics,
and artificial intelligence. Given this breadth, textbooks have had difficulty providing balanced coverage-most resort to disjointed
edited treatises that prove difficult to use.Cognitive Science provides a unified and comprehensive look at the field,
from foundations to applications. Luger explores the logical and philosophical bases of cognitive science with multiple models of intelligence,
including neural networks and connectionism. Practical programming examples are included along with an introduction to PROLOG.
Audience
Upper-division students in cognitive science.
