This engagingly written introduction to the cognitive sciences examines the historical and contemporary issues and research findings of the core cognitive science disciplines, including cognitive psychology, neuroscience, language, philosophy, and artificial intelligence. For each of the core disciplines of cognitive science, the historical development and classic research studies are presented in one chapter and current research development and issues follow in a second chapter. The student is given insight into the way each discipline has contributed to the growth of cognitive science and what directions research is taking in the future. This text assumes no background on the part of the reader.

Informative book (will not get into details),
By W. Ghost (Brazil) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cognitive Science: An Interdisciplinary Approach (Hardcover)
This is an informative book, and a rather nice one. I didn't like the author's prose, but that really is a matter of taste.Don't expect to learn anything deeply technical or to start doing Cog. Sci. research after reading this -- this book will actually show you where to go if you want to start working with Cog. Sci.

This review is from: Cognitive Science: An Interdisciplinary Approach (Hardcover)
This is a tour de force. Five discipines are presented, both historically and currently, illuminating the current state of the cognitive sciences and how these disciplines got to their present levels of achievement.
