false 294373 2 Scientists from many disciplines, including physics, chemistry, biology, and neuroscience, contribute to the study of cognition. Cognitive psychology, the science of the human mind and of how people process information, is at the core of empirical investigations into the nature of mind and thought.<br /> <br /> This anthology is based on the assumption that cognitive psychology is at heart empirical philosophy. Many of the core questions about thought, language, perception, memory, and knowledge of other people's minds were for centuries the domain of philosophy. The book begins with the philosophical foundations of inquiry into the nature of mind and thought, in particular the writings of Descartes, and then covers the principal topics of cognitive psychology including memory, attention, and decision making.<br /> <br /> The book organizes a daunting amount of information, underlining the essentials, while also introducing readers to the ambiguities and controversies of research. It is arranged thematically and includes many topics not typically taught in cognition courses, including human factors and ergonomics, evolutionary psychology, music cognition, and experimental design.<br /> <br /> The contributors include Daniel Dennett, Daniel Kahneman, Jay McClelland, Donald Norman, Michael Posner, Stephen Palmer, Eleanor Rosch, John Searle, Roger Shepard, and Anne Treisman. 285642 9 9 2002 Foundations of Cognitive Psychology: Core Readings total:7|5:1|4:2|3:4|2:0|1:0| 7 25 23 1 0 0 false false Mon Apr 21 20:09:06 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 21 20:10:11 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sun Nov 01 20:59:57 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 01 20:59:57 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 06 05:39:20 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 05:39:20 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Aug 30 14:48:34 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 30 14:48:42 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu May 21 21:14:28 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 21:14:28 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue May 12 09:41:23 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 09:41:23 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon May 11 22:48:58 -0700 2009 Mon May 11 22:48:58 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Apr 07 18:19:36 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 07 18:19:44 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Mar 06 11:37:20 -0800 2009 Fri Mar 06 11:37:20 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Mar 06 00:37:14 -0800 2009 Fri Mar 06 00:37:14 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 27 11:50:07 -0800 2009 Sat Apr 18 21:04:16 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 25 19:05:06 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 25 19:05:06 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jan 20 10:39:10 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 20 10:39:42 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jan 06 08:50:26 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 06 08:50:28 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Dec 31 11:37:21 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 31 11:37:21 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Sep 06 10:16:01 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 06 10:16:01 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Jul 26 07:32:10 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 26 07:32:10 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Jul 09 08:42:13 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 09 08:42:13 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Mar 27 18:37:07 -0700 2008 Thu Mar 27 18:37:15 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Thu Feb 14 09:19:37 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 14 09:19:37 -0800 2008
