Explanations in cognitive science

Artificial Intelligence Review, 1988
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.

Cognitive science and behaviourism

British Journal of Psychology, 1985
In this paper it is argued that cognitive scientists, claiming the support of brain science and computer simulation, have revived a traditional view that behaviour is initiated by an internal, autonomous mind. In doing so, they have (1) misused the metaphor of storage and retrieval, (2) given neurology a misleading assignment, (3) frequently replaced ...

The cognitive science of fiction

WIREs Cognitive Science, 2012
AbstractFiction might be dismissed as observations that lack reliability and validity, but this would be a misunderstanding. Works of fiction are simulations that run on minds. They were the first kinds of simulation. All art has a metaphorical quality: a painting can be both pigments on canvas and a person.

Cognitive science meets computing science: The future of cognitive systems and cognitive engineering

Proceedings of the ITI 2009 31st International Conference on Information Technology Interfaces, 2009
We stand at the threshold of a dramatic and exciting new time in humanity's development. As irreplaceable physical resources inevitably dwindle, we shall increasingly come to rely much more on cognitive resources that consume less and less energy.

Photography and Cognitive Sciences

2010
The art of photography is an art, and at the same time a domain for scientific questions from various disciplines of science, which requires a multidisciplinary approach. In this work, we will try to describe the aesthetic and cognitive processes that come into play with the production of photographic images.
