UNIFIED THEORIES OF COGNITION (THE WILLIAM JAMES LECTURES) By Allen Newell *NEW*

Description: Allen Newell, a leading researcher in computer science and cognitive psychology, makes the case for unified theories of cognition by setting forth a candidate: Soar, an architecture for general cognitionA pioneer system in artificial intelligence, Soar is the first problem solver to create its own subgoals and learn continuously from its own experience, thus illustrating important characteristics of the human cognitive structure. "Ranges authoritatively over 40 years of research in psychology, artifi- cial intelligence and computer science... Lively, lucid and persuasive" -John Fox Nature "If you want to understand mental architecture, you must read this book." -Philip N. Johnson-Laird Princeton University "It is an understatement to say that [this book] is indispensable read- ing for both established and budding cognitive scientists-and for researchers in the neighboring domains of neuroscience and artificial intelligence as well." -Herbert ASimon Carnegie Mellon University "An extremely important contribution to the foundations of cognitive science... Because Newell tackles this integration head on, he has set an agenda for the next twenty years of cognitive science." -George A. Miller Princeton University Allen Newell was, at the time of his death in 1992, the UA. and Helen Whitaker University Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University.
