内容説明
To answer the question of what cognitive psychology is you must first understand its theoretical foundations-foundations which have often received very little attention in modern textbooks. Author Michael Dawson seeks to address this oversight by exploring the essential principles that have established and guided this unique field of psychological study.
Beginning with the basics of information processing, Dawson explores what experimental psychologists infer about these processes, and considers what scientific explanations are required when we assume cognition is rule-governed symbol manipulation. From these foundations, psychologists can identify the architecture of cognition and better understand its role in debates about its true nature.
What is Cognitive Psychology? asks questions that will engage both students and researchers, including: Do we need the computer metaphor? Must we assume thinking involves mental representations? Do machines-or people-or brains-actually think? What is the "cognitive" in "cognitive neuroscience" and where is the mind? By establishing cognitive psychology's foundational assumptions in its early chapters, this book places the reader in a position to critically evaluate such questions.
