Microcognition: Philosophy, Cognitive Science, and Parallel Distributed Processing
Cambridge: MIT Press (1989)
Abstract
Parallel distributed processing is transforming the field of cognitive science. Microcognition provides a clear, readable guide to this emerging paradigm from a cognitive philosopher's point of view. It explains and explores the biological basis of PDP, its psychological importance, and its philosophical relevance.Author's Profile
