Visual Cognition

During the past decade cognitive scientists have devised new experimental techniques; researchers in artificial intelligence have devised new ways of modeling cognitive processes on computers; neuropsychologists are testing new models of brain organization.

Many of these developments are represented in this collection of essays. The papers, though reporting work at the cutting edge of their fields, do not assume a highly technical background on the part of readers, and the volume begins with a tutorial introduction by the editor, making the book suitable for specialists and non-specialists alike.

Steven Pinker is Associate Professor, Department of Psychology and Co-Director of the Center for Cognitive Science, MIT. Visual Cognition is included in the series Computational Models of Cognition and Perception, edited by Feldman et al.
