Description
Computation and Cognition: A Foundation for Cognitive Science By Zenon W. Pylyshyn This influential work explores the relationship between computation and mental phenomena, arguing that cognition is a form of computation. Pylyshyn examines how semantic contents of mental states are encoded in computer representations, shedding light on the assumptions underlying cognitive science research. A rich and sustained investigation, this book presents a systematic analysis of the intersection of computation and mental processes. It offers valuable insights into the nature of cognition and its relationship to information processing. Written by a noted psychologist and computer scientist, Computation and Cognition is an important contribution to our understanding of human intelligence and cognitive function.
