Description

Knowledge, Concepts and Categories brings together an overview of recent research on concepts and knowledge that abstracts across a variety of specific fields of cognitive psychology.

Readers will find data from many different areas: developmental psychology, formal modelling, neuropsychology, connectionism, philosophy, and so on.

The book can be divided into three parts. Chapters 1 to 5 each contain a thorough and systematic review of a significant aspect of research on concepts and categories.

Chapters 6 to 9 are concerned primarily with issues related to the taxonomy of human knowledge.

Finally, Chapters 10 to 12 discuss formal models of categorization and function learning.

The purpose of these three chapters is to provide a few examples of current formal modelling of conceptual behaviour.

Knowledge, Concepts and Categories will be welcomed by students and researchers in cognitive psychology and related areas as an unusually wide-ranging and authoritative review of an important subfield of psychology.
