Cognitive Dynamics: Conceptual and Representational Change in Humans and Machines
Editat de Eric Dietrich, Arthur B. Markmanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 iun 2020
This book is based on the notion that, while new tools and approaches for understanding cognition are valuable, representational approaches do not need to be abandoned in the course of constructing new models and explanations. Rather, models that incorporate representation are quite compatible with the kinds of complex situations being modeled with the new methods. This volume illustrates the power of this explicitly representational approach--labeled "cognitive dynamics"--in original essays by prominent researchers in cognitive science. Each chapter explores some aspect of the dynamics of cognitive processing while still retaining representations as the centerpiece of the explanations of the key phenomena. These chapters serve as an existence proof that representation is not incompatible with the dynamics of cognitive processing. The book is divided into sections on foundational issues about the use of representation in cognitive science, the dynamics of low level cognitive processes (such as visual and auditory perception and simple lexical priming), and the dynamics of higher cognitive processes (including categorization, analogy, and decision making).

Recenzii
"...this book supplies a broad background and foundations of dynamics of cognition. It is a good overview book. It describes the problems and obstacles in current approaches in cognitive science dealing with representations. It suggests a new concept to deal and encounter these problems. It reveals comprehensive methods and tools and different approaches to deal with dynamic cognitive systems and dynamic representations. The many examples help make the book readable for engineers not familiar with cognitive sciences."

"...the editors do a good job of bringing issues together in their introduction and their prefaces to the main sections, and many of the primarily review-oriented chapters, such as the chapter by Burgess and Lund, provide very good overviews for those seeking an introduction."

Descriere
This volume presents a new perspective on conceptual change that negotiates a middle ground between purely comptutational and purely dynamic approaches. Its chapters will be of interest to all cognitive scientists and scholars in related fields.
