  TITLE:<br /> The MIT Press The MIT Encyclopedia of the Cognitive Sciences<br /> <br /> <br /> Description<br /> Since the 1970s the cognitive sciences have offered multidisciplinary ways of understanding the mind and cognition. The MIT Encyclopedia of the Cognitive Sciences (MITECS) is a landmark, comprehensive reference work that represents the methodological and theoretical diversity of this changing field.<br /> <br /> At the core of the encyclopedia are 471 concise entries, from Acquisition and Adaptationism to Wundt and X-bar Theory. Each article, written by a leading researcher in the field, provides an accessible introduction to an important concept in the cognitive sciences, as well as references or further readings. Six extended essays, which collectively serve as a roadmap to the articles, provide overviews of each of six major areas of cognitive science: Philosophy; Psychology; Neurosciences; Computational Intelligence; Linguistics and Language; and Culture, Cognition, and Evolution. For both students and researchers, MITECS will be an indispensable guide to the current state of the cognitive sciences.<br /> <br /> About the Editors<br /> <br /> Rob Wilson received his Ph.D. in Philosophy from Cornell University in 1992, and has taught at Queen's University, Canada (1992-1996), and the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (1996-2001), where he was a member of the Cognitive Science Group at the university's Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology. Since July 2000 he has been professor of philosophy at the University of Alberta, in Edmonton, Canada. His areas of professional interest are the philosophy of the mind, the foundations of cognitive science, and the philosophy of biology. He recently edited Species: New Interdisciplinary Essays (MIT Press, 1999), and with Frank Keil, is the general editor of The MIT Press Encyclopedia of the Cognitive Sciences (MIT Press, 1999).<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Review:<br /> &quot;At last, a thorough, authoritative source for work in the cognitive sciences. Take the most important topics in the study of cognition, ask the world's top authorities to summarize the state of the art, and you have it: The MIT Encyclopedia. I have already used it to learn, to browse, to inform, to teach, and to update my own understanding. It doesn't matter which end you seek: the book will frequently be in use.&quot;<br /> --Donald A. Norman, The Nielsen Norman Group; Professor Emeritus, Department of Cognitive Science, UC, San Diego; and author of The Invisible Computer<br /> <br /> &quot;The Cognitive Sciences emerged in recognition of the fact that scholars and scientists in many different fields shared common problems and needed to collaborate. Now at last The MIT Encyclopedia of the Cognitive Sciences has provided a forum large enough for that interaction to occur--a forum that will not only facilitate cooperation but will educate a new generation of cognitive scientists.&quot;<br /> --George Miller, Professor of Psychology Emeritus, Princeton University<br /> <br /> <br /> Bibliography:<br /> published date:May 1999<br /> 1096 pp., 100 illus.<br /> ISBN-10:0-262-23200-6<br /> ISBN-13:978-0-262-23200-5
