Computer Models of Mind: Computational approaches in theoretical psychology Computer Models of Mind: Computational approaches in theoretical psychology Price: $43.88 (more details) What is the mind? How does it work? How does it influence behavior? Some psychologists hope to answer such questions in terms of concepts drawn from computer science and artificial intelligence. They test their theories by modeling mental processes in computers. This book shows how computer models are used to study many psychological phenomena--including vision, language, reasoning, and ... |
