�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

How do we represent information mentally, and how do we use that information to interact with the world? The problem is old and persistent - and complex. The new discipline of cognitive science takes the problem of mental representations as its main domain. Controversy centres on a philosophical issue: empiricism versus rationalism. This book offers a clear analysis of the philosophical roots of this controversy, and a balanced assessment of the merits of different theoretical approaches to cognitive representation. After reviewing the prevailing attitudes among contemporary psychologists, the author provides a systematic account of his dual coding theory of mental representations, which proposes that non-verbal and linguistic phenomena are handled cognitively by two separate subsystems - the imagery and verbal systems. Developmental mechanisms of the dual coding system are discussed, as are individual differences. The system is then related to specific cognitive phenomena, including semantic memory, episodic memory, the manipulation and use of representative information, language comprehension and production, and bilingual cognitive representation

Anbieterinformationen

The Bookshop at Beech Cottage trades exclusively via the internet. I acquire most of my stock through a network of suppliers based in southern England. My particular interests are illustrated Private Press and modern Poetry. I also have a collection of Prospectuses and similar ephemera. I am careful to select only the better quality items for the Bookshop that are within my speciality and pass on those that are outside my remit. I am a former librarian and read for pleasure - as many booksellers do! I take great care of my books while they are staying at Beech Cottage and would only ask my customers that they do likewise. Happy reading!
