Cognitive Psychology and Its Implications
TL;DR: Anderson as mentioned in this paper constructs a coherent picture of human cognition, relating neural functions to mental processes, perception to abstraction, representation to meaning, knowledge to skill, language to thought, and adult cognition to child development.

Book
Understanding Natural Language
TL;DR: A computer system for understanding English that contains a parser, a recognition grammar of English, programs for semantic analysis, and a general problem solving system based on the belief that in modeling language understanding, it must deal in an integrated way with all of the aspects of language—syntax, semantics, and inference.

TL;DR: This book discusses molecular manufacturing systems, nanoscale Structural Components, and Nanomechanical Computational Systems, as well as some of the techniques used in macromolecular engineering and its applications.
Book
The Singularity Is Near
TL;DR: This chapter presents and defends Ray Kurzweil’s view that the authors will reach a technological singularity in the next few decades, which he defines as a period during which the pace of technological change will be so rapid, its impact so deep, that human life will be irreversibly transformed.
