Mental Models & the Mind, Volume 138: Current developments in Cognitive Psychology, Neuroscience and Philosophy of Mind

Carsten Held, Gottfried Vosgerau, Markus Knauff, ” Mental Models & the Mind, Volume 138: Current developments in Cognitive Psychology, Neuroscience and Philosophy of Mind”
North Holland; 1 edition (March 31, 2006) | ISBN: 0444520791 | 286 pages | PDF | 13,2 Mb
“Cognitive psychology,” “cognitive neuroscience,” and “philosophy of mind” are names for three very different scientific fields, but they label aspects of the same scientific goal: to understand the nature of mental phenomena. Today, the three disciplines strongly overlap under the roof of the cognitive sciences. The book’s purpose is to present views from the different disciplines on one of the central theories in cognitive science: the theory of mental models. Cognitive psychologists report their research on the representation and processing of mental models in human memory. Cognitive neuroscientists demonstrate how the brain processes visual and spatial mental models and which neural processes underlie visual and spatial thinking. Philosophers report their ideas about the role of mental models in relation to perception, emotion, representation, and intentionality. The single articles have different and mutually complementing goals: to introduce new empirical methods and approaches, to report new experimental results, and to locate competing approaches for their interpretation in the cross-disciplinary debate. The book is strongly interdisciplinary in character. It is especially addressed to researchers in any field related to mental models theory as both a reference book and an overview of present research on the topic in other disciplines. However, it is also an ideal reader for a specialized graduate course.

*Examines the theory of mental models from the perspectives of cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience and philosophy of the mind
*Introduces new empirical methods, experimental results, and interdisciplinary yet complementary approaches
*Serves as a reference book and an overview of current research
