Il linguaggio è probabilmente la più importante delle capacità umane. È ciò che in sostanza significa essere umani. Eppure ne sappiamo molto poco, nonostante secoli di studi. Perché, sostengono Christiansen e Chater in questo saggio rivoluzionario, si è sempre partiti da un approccio sbagliato, da un clamoroso equivoco: la convinzione che le disordinate manifestazioni quotidiane del linguaggi...

A radical reinterpretation of how your mind works - and why it could change your life We all like to think we have a hidden inner life. Most of us assume that our beliefs and desires arise from the murky depths of our minds, and, if only we could work out how to access this mysterious world, we could truly understand ourselves. For more than a century, psychologists and psychiatrists have struggled to discover what lies below our mental surfac...

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 Ba...

Setting forth the state of the art, leading researchers present a survey on the fast-developing field of Connectionist Psycholinguistics. Using connectionist or "neural" networks, which are inspired by brain architecture, to model empirical data on human language processing. Connectionist psycholinguistics has had a substantial impact on the study of a wide range of aspects of language processing, ranging from inflectional morphology, to word ...

The essays in this work focus on problems with logic-based approaches to human reasoning, showing how a probablistic approach can provide a more psychologically plausible, computationally viable and philosophically respectable account of human

This book brings together an influential sequence of papers that argue for a radical re-conceptualisation of the psychology of inference, and of cognitive science more generally. The papers demonstrate that the thesis that logic provides the basis of human inference is central to much cognitive science, although the commitment to this view is often implicit. They then note that almost all human inference is uncertain, whereas logic is the calc...

How do people decide what to do? What is the origin of judgment? These questions are fundamental both to individual psychology, and across the social sciences. Judgement and Decision Making bring together the classic works in the field of the past 50 years, both setting the field in historical and theoretical context, and outlining cutting edge research. The articles range across psychology, economics, sociology and neuroscience, and deals bot...
