  • A companion to cognitive science
    The most dramatic conceptual event of late twentieth century psychological science has been the creation of multi-disciplinary cognitive science. The expression 'cognitive science' names a broadly ... integrated class of approaches to the study of mental activities and processes, broad not just in the sense of including disciplines as varied as philosophy, cognitive psychology, linguistics, computer science, anthropology, and neuroscience, but in the sense that cognitive scientists tend to adopt certain basic, general assumptions about mind and intelligent thought and behavior. These include assumptions that the mind is (1) an information processing system, (2) a representational device, and (3) [in some sense] a computer. Various relations are possible among each of these assumptions; further, they are not shared by all who dub themselves cognitive scientists. Partly because of such relations and failures of uniformity, cognitive science has generated vigorous dialogues concerning the nature of mental activities and processes as well as over the nature of science and the structure of disciplines. The Blackwell Companion to Cognitive Science will present everything needed to acquire working familiarity with cognitive science, its central research fields and methodologies, main achievements, intellectual stances and controversies, and likely future developments. The Companion represents an important innovation in the learning space of cognitive science; no book of exactly this type has been published before. It should serve as a reference book, classroom text, and resource guide. It will be readable by non-specialists such as graduate or undergraduate students taking first courses in cognitive science, and also specialists who already are in disciplines which are part of cognitive science but who wish an overview of topics which rest outside their own specialty. It will contain select bibliographies of other sources in the field. It will be written and organized as a book, not as an encyclopedia or dictionary. While cognitive science has existed as a multi-disciplinary research endeavor for a couple of decades, its character has not been static and is indeed undergoing fundamental changes at present. This volume will attempt not only to characterize the past and present endeavors of cognitive science, but also to focus on future problems for inquiry in cognitive science and new approaches to conceptualizing cognitive phenomena, including perspectives from neuroscience and from social and ecological studies. Moreover, this volume will include entrees that examine not just the central inquiries of cognitive science but also explore the real world applications of work that has been done in cognitive science.
