Cognitive Modeling

Computational modeling plays a central role in cognitive science. This book provides
a comprehensive introduction to computational models of human cognition. It covers major approaches
and architectures, both neural network and symbolic; major theoretical issues; and specific
computational models of a variety of cognitive processes, ranging from low-level (e.g., attention
and memory) to higher-level (e.g., language and reasoning). The articles included in the book
provide original descriptions of developments in the field. The emphasis is on implemented
computational models rather than on mathematical or nonformal approaches, and on modeling empirical
data from human subjects.
