Book Description

Publication Date: 3 July 2009 | ISBN-10: 0262012936 | ISBN-13: 978-0262012935

In the past few decades, sources of inspiration in the multidisciplinary field of cognitive science have widened. In addition to ongoing vital work in cognitive and affective neuroscience, important new work is being conducted at the intersection of psychology and the biological sciences in general. This volume offers an overview of the cross-disciplinary integration of evolutionary and developmental approaches to cognition in light of these exciting new contributions from the life sciences. This research has explored many cognitive abilities in a wide range of organisms and developmental stages, and results have revealed the nature and origin of many instances of the cognitive life of organisms. Each section of Cognitive Biology deals with a key domain of cognition: spatial cognition; the relationships among attention, perception, and learning; representations of numbers and economic values; and social cognition. Contributors discuss each topic from the perspectives of psychology and neuroscience, brain theory and modeling, evolutionary theory, ecology, genetics, and developmental science. ContributorsChris M. Bird, Elizabeth M. Brannon, Neil Burgess, Jessica F. Cantlon, Stanislas Dehaene, Christian F. Doeller, Reuven Dukas, Rochel Gelman, Alexander Gerganov, Paul W. Glimcher, Robert L. Goldstone, Edward M. Hubbard, Lucia F. Jacobs, Mark H. Johnson, Annette Karmiloff-Smith, David Landy, Lynn Nadel, Nora S. Newcombe, Daniel Osorio, Mary A. Peterson, Manuela Piazza, Philippe Pinel, Michael L. Platt, Kristin R. Ratliff, Michael E. Roberts, Wendy S. Shallcross, Stephen V.

Product Description

Review

"Modern progress in science depends critically on interdisciplinary endeavor, and psychology has had its share of alliances. We've had psycholinguistics, cognitive neuroscience, cognitive archeology, evolutionary psychology, not to mention the offspring spawned by the incursion of neuroimaging: neuroaesthetics, neuroeconomics, neuroethics, neuroethology, neuropolitics, neurotheology, even neuromarketing. None quite captures the breadth of inquiry needed to fathom the mind. This excellent volume brings together a diverse range of expertise, neatly captured by the volume's title. The phrase 'cognitive biology' stands to become the byword for a fully integrative science of the mind." --Michael Corballis, Professor of Psychology, University of Auckland
