Description

Cognitive science emerged in the 1950s as various disciplines began to fragment. This led to the development of three distinct schools: classical cognitive science, connectionist cognitive science, and embodied cognitive science. These perspectives differ significantly in their understanding of information processing and cognition. The book explores the relationships between these different approaches, highlighting fundamental tensions and lines of fragmentation among them. Dawson provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the field, treating each school with equal attention and demonstrating a broad and deep understanding of cognitive science. By examining core assumptions, research findings, and examples from various phenomena studied by cognitive scientists, this book addresses key questions in the field, such as the nature of cognitive science itself.
