内容説明

This book addresses central concerns in current infancy research. It offers a new approach to those aspects of developmental psychology and cognitive science that are relevant and necessary for explaining the foundations of the mind. The book addresses the key question of how psychologists can best conceptualize the abilities of young infants. Rutkowska develops a synthesis of developmental psychology and cognitive science that focuses on areas of mutual concern such as vision, information, adaptive behaviour, object understanding, intention and systems of representation, providing a route to evaluating the psychological relevance of alternative styles of computational explanation.

目次

Infancy, Cognitivism and Computation. From Low-Level Computer Vision to Early Infant Vision. Getting Perception into Action. Information and Meaning. Action as Procedural Representation. The Structure of Infant Intention. Looking for Developmental Change and its Constraints. How Does Developmental Change Work?

qit-"This book addresses central concerns in current infancy research...it will fill an extremely important gap."-qit - Gavin Bremner, University of Lancaster qit-The Computational Infant-qit offers a significant new approach to those aspects of developmental psychology and cognitive science that are relevant and necessary for explaining the foundations of the mind. The book addresses the key question of how psychologists can best conceptualize the abilities of young infants. Rutkowska develops a useful synthesis of developmental psychology and cognitive science that focuses on areas of mutual concern such as vision, information, adaptive behaviour, object understanding, intention and systems of representation, providing a route to evaluating the psychological relevance of alternative styles of computational explanation.
