Cognitive science attempts to explain our mental life within a scientific framework. Its goal is, thus, to remove the last major obstacle to a unified scientific account of the natural world. In this title, originally published in 1991, Alan Garnham provides an invaluable introduction to this exciting new development in the study of mind.
Alan Garnham is Lecturer in Experimental Psychology, University of Sussex, and author of Psycholinguistics: Central Topics and Artificial Intelligence: An Introduction.
