Description: Fundamentals of Cognitive Science draws on research from psychology philosophy artificial intelligence linguistics evolution and neuroscience to provide an engaging and student - friendly introduction to this interdisciplinary field. While structured around traditional cognitive psychology topics from attention learning theory and memory to information processing thinking and decision making the book also looks at neural networks cognitive neuroscience embodied cognition and magic to illustrate cognitive science principles. The book is organized around the history of thinking about the mind and its relation to the world. It considers the evolution of cognition and how it demonstrates how our current thinking about cognitive processes is derived from pre - scientific philosophies and common sense through psychologists empirical inquiries into mind and behavior as they pursued a science of cognition and the construction of artificial intelligences. The architectures of cognition are also applied throughout and the book proposes a synthesis of them from traditional symbol system architectures to recent work in embodied cognition and Bayesian predictive processing. Practical and policy implications are also considered but solutions are left for the readers to determine. Using extended case studies to address the most important themes ideas and findings this book is suitable for upper - level undergraduate and graduate courses in psychology and related fields. It is also suitable for general readers interested in an accessible treatment of cognitive science and its practical implications.
