Cognitive Modeling

Rating:
Summary: Good as an Introduction or Reference Book
Review: This book presents the current and mor well-known models of cognition in the area cognitive science. This includes descriptions of both symbolic and connectionist models (e.g. ACT-R, SOAR, ART-MAP, MAC/FAC, etc.), written by the authors who developed them. However, each chapter presents a somewhat condensed version of each model, so some (but not all) of the technical details are ommitted. Overall, the book can function as an extensive introduction to contemporary methods and issues in cognitive modelling, or as a reference book for those more familiar with the field.
