TL;DR: This perspective presents cognitive science as a synthesis of psychology's empirical analysis of human cognitive processing and the computational modeling of those processes, with the formalisms for knowledge representation and process mechanism provided by AI.
Abstract: From the Publisher:
This readings volume collects the best papers in cognitive science from a unique perspective: the interface between artificial intelligence and cognitive psychology. This perspective presents cognitive science as a synthesis of psychology's empirical analysis of human cognitive processing and the computational modeling of those processes, with the formalisms for knowledge representation and process mechanism provided by AI.
The editors have selected papers that are frequently referenced and representative of major research, relating theoretical ideas to empirical results. An introductory section collects classic papers laying out the foundational issues in cognitive science and the general assumptions of computational modeling and cognitive architecture.Major sections, introduced by the editors, address representation, categorization, learning, thinking, and perception.
Accessible to a broad audience of cognitive scientists, researchers and students in AI, psychology, cognitive science, and related areas. An excellent principal or supplemental text, Readings in Cognitive Science offers a challenging perspective on one of the richest interdisciplinary collaborations in research today.

TL;DR: In this paper, a critical review of theories in perceptual psychology, placing special emphasis on the perception of visual forms, is presented, and the author suggests that some of the goals of cognitive, neurophysiological and computational theorists, while useful in certain contexts, cannot be used for valid statements of the inner workings of the perceptual system.
Abstract: Presents a critical review of theories in perceptual psychology, placing special emphasis on the perception of visual forms. The author reviews the state of current theory on how we see forms and works to establish the logical and mathematical limits of reductionism and theory. His work suggests that some of the goals of cognitive, neurophysiological and computational theorists, while useful in certain contexts, cannot be used for valid statements of the inner workings of the perceptual system.

TL;DR: The usefulness of interdisciplinarity in cognitive science (CS) is demonstrated by an overview of recent algorithms for recovering 3-D aspects from a 2-D input and attention is paid to (meta) criticisms of PP and PhM on concrete hypotheses of CTP and on the CTP approach as a whole.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the cybernetic conceptions of cognitivistic theories of consciousness do not necessarily subsume third-force views of consciousness, and the purpose of the present article is to show that cybernetic notions of cognition are not the third force view of consciousness.
Abstract: Cognitive psychology is considered by some theorists to have subsumed "third force" views of consciousness. The purpose of the present article is to show that the cybernetic conceptions of cognitiv...

TL;DR: In this article, cognitive psychology is used to renew the situation to get the inspirations, which will lead to always thinking more and more and in this case, this book will be always right for you.
Abstract: Want to get experience? Want to get any ideas to create new things in your life? Read cognitive psychology and reading in the u s s r now! By reading this book as soon as possible, you can renew the situation to get the inspirations. Yeah, this way will lead you to always think more and more. In this case, this book will be always right for you. When you can observe more about the book, you will know why you need this.

TL;DR: In this paper, a survey of the roles of psychology in interface design makes it possible to identify various ways in which basic research findings can figure in the overall design process, and the authors discuss and embody ideas on the way in which the results of basic research can be packaged for use in design practice.

TL;DR: A critique of representational theory in contemporary cognitive psychology from a phenomenological viewpoint is given in this article, where it is concluded that representational, cognitive, theory as a naturalistic, causal, theory of meaning and reference fails as a psychology of the mental.

TL;DR: Larson et al. as discussed by the authors made an attempt to bridge the gap between psychometric data and cognitive theory, using two major performance frameworks (structural and resource/capacity frameworks) and concluded that the concept of "attentional resources" is currently the most viable cognitive analog of g.
Abstract: General intelligence ("g") is one of the most important, and least understood, phenomena in psychometric psychology. Yet "g" is an issue that is largely ignored in cognitive studies of aptitude. In the current paper, an attempt is made to bridge the gap between psychometric data and cognitive theory, using two major performance frameworks (structural and resource/capacity frameworks). Neither framework explains all phenomena related to general intelligence_ he concept of "attentional resources" is currently the most viable cognitive analog of "g". It is unlikely that "g" is merely a complete set of elementary cognitive components. More likely, intelligent performance depends on both activating resources for thought and strategies and knowledge affecting the allocation of those resources. Clearly, resources and strategies are both involved in any individual test score. It is conceivable, however, that resources are primary to "g".

TL;DR: It is argued that cognitive science needs to distinguish between ‘competence’ and ‘performance’ in order to clarify this point, and that such a distinction has far-reaching effects on how the authors view computer simulations of behaviour.
Abstract: Cognitive science may be loosely described as the activity of trying to model aspects of human behaviour upon a computer. It has emerged as a blending of the techniques of artificial intelligence and cognitive psychology but these two disciplines have different, and incompatible, philosophies. Searle has detected elements of behaviourism and operationism within artificial intelligence, whereas cognitive psychology is essentially anti-behaviourist. It is argued that cognitive science needs to distinguish between ‘competence’ and ‘performance’ in order to clarify this point, and that such a distinction has far-reaching effects on how we view computer simulations of behaviour.

TL;DR: In the field of human factors, the field has been dominated by people interested in the mechanical aspects of the interaction between man and machine as mentioned in this paper. But the results of this field have been labelled Human Factors.
Abstract: Engineers and psychologists have traditionally cooperated in the study and design of interfaces between humans and the machines they wish to control. In the scientific literature, the results of work have been labelled Human Factors. This field has been dominated by people interested in the mechanical aspects of the interaction between man and machine; for example, the physical layout of control panels so that the hand and eye movements may be kept to a minimum. The redesign of the cockpit of fighter aircraft is a classic case of the results of such cooperation.
