Product Description
Product Description
Two psychologists, a computer scientist, and a philosopher have collaborated to present a framework for understanding processes of inductive reasoning and learning in organisms and machines. Theirs is the first major effort to bring the ideas of several disciplines to bear on a subject that has been a topic of investigation since the time of Socrates. The result is an integrated account that treats problem solving and induction in terms of rule-based mental models.John Holland is Professor of Electrical Engineering at Michigan University. Keith Holyoak is Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles. Richard Nisbett is Professor of Psychology at the University of Michigan and Paul Thagard is Research Scientist at Princeton University's Cognitive Science Laboratory Induction is included in the Computational Models of Cognition and Perception Series. A Bradford Book.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must for knowledge workers!, 5 May 2003
By S. van Diessen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Induction: Processes of Inference, Learning and Discovery (Computational Models of Cognition & Perception) (Bradford Books) (Paperback)
This book should be 'the bible' for everyone involved in knowledge management processes. Holland, as one of the complexity theory founders, decribes the essentials of how complex adaptive rules, in relation to the variability of the environment, determine knowledge dynamics and learning capabilities.Key message of the book is the way that processes of induction, both cognitive and subcognitive, determine rule making, rule adaptation and environment modeling.
With this work Holland (et al.) was the first to close the gap between cognition, complex adaptive systems and knowledge processing. He also provides a sound computational base for the theories presented, opening possibilities for implementation of 'the induction theory' in real world applications.
