Description: Since the 1970s
the cognitive sciences have offered multidisciplinary ways of understanding the
mind and cognition. The MIT Encyclopedia of the Cognitive Sciences (MITECS) is
a landmark, comprehensive reference work that represents the methodological and
theoretical diversity of this changing field.At the core of the encyclopedia
are 471 concise entries, from Acquisition and Adaptationism to Wundt and X-bar
Theory.
Each article,
written by a leading researcher in the field, provides an accessible
introduction to an important concept in the cognitive sciences, as well as
references or further readings. Six extended essays, which collectively serve
as a roadmap to the articles, provide overviews of each of six major areas of
cognitive science: Philosophy; Psychology; Neurosciences; Computational
Intelligence; Linguistics and Language; and Culture, Cognition, and Evolution.
For both students and researchers, MITECS will be an indispensable guide to the
current state of the cognitive sciences.
