The probabilistic mind : prospects for bayesian cognitive science
Contributor(s): Chater, Nick [ed.] | Oaksford, Mike [ed.].
Publisher: Oxford Oxford University Press 2008Description: viii, 525p.ISBN: 9780199216093.Subject(s): Cognition | Cognitive science | Cognitive psychologyDDC classification: 153 | P94 Summary: The rational analysis method, first proposed by John R. Anderson, has been enormously influential in helping us understand high-level cognitive processes. 'The Probabilistic Mind' is a follow-up to the influential and highly cited 'Rational Models of Cognition' (OUP, 1998). It brings together developments in understanding how, and how far, high-level cognitive processes can be understood in rational terms, and particularly using probabilistic Bayesian methods. It synthesizes and evaluates the progress in the past decade, taking into account developments in Bayesian statistics, statistical analysis of the cognitive 'environment' and a variety of theoretical and experimental lines of research.
