Beliefs, Reasoning, and Decision Making: Psycho-Logic in Honor of Bob Abelson [Hardcover]

Roger C. Schank (Editor), Ellen Langer (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 1994 | ISBN-10: 0805814566 | ISBN-13: 978-0805814569 | Edition: 1

It is not unusual for a festschrift to include offerings from several areas of study, but it is highly unusual for those areas to cross disciplinary lines. This book, in doing just that, is a testimony to Bob Abelson's impact on the disciplines of social psychology, artificial intelligence and cognitive science, and the applied areas of political psychology and decision-making. The contributors demonstrate that their association with Abelson, whether as students or colleagues, has resulted in an impressive intellectual cross-fertilization.

Beliefs, Reasoning, and Decision Making: Psycho-Logic in Honor of Bob Abelson

This is great reading and very informative on the subjects of cognition, reasoning, psychology and decision-making. It is loaded with diverse ideas from experts, including Roger C. Schank, Ellen Langer, Janet L. Kolodner and others. I can't seem to put this book down. It is now one of my favorites.
