Cognition, both natural and artificial, is about anticipating the need for action and developing the capacity to predict the outcome of those actions. Drawing on artificial intelligence, developmental psychology, and cognitive neuroscience, the field of artificial cognitive systems has as its ultimate goal the creation of computer-based systems that can interact with humans and serve society in a variety of ways. This primer brings together recent work in cognitive science and cognitive robotics to offer readers a solid grounding on key issues.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book first develops a working definition of cognitive systems—broad enough to encompass multiple views of the subject and deep enough to help in the formulation of theories and models. It surveys the cognitivist, emergent, and hybrid paradigms of cognitive science and discusses cognitive architectures derived from them. It then turns to the key issues, with chapters devoted to autonomy, embodiment, learning and development, memory and prospection, knowledge and representation, and social cognition. Ideas are introduced in an intuitive, natural order, with an emphasis on the relationships among ideas and building to an overview of the field. The main text is straightforward and succinct; sidenotes drill deeper on specific topics and provide contextual links to further reading.Preface xi\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements xv\u003cbr\u003e1 The Nature of Cognition 1\u003cbr\u003e2 Paradigms of Cognitive Science 19\u003cbr\u003e3 Cognitive Architectures 63\u003cbr\u003e4 Autonomy 85\u003cbr\u003e5 Embodiment 113\u003cbr\u003e6 Development and Learning 139\u003cbr\u003e7 Memory and Prospection 155\u003cbr\u003e8 Knowledge and Representation 177\u003cbr\u003e9 Social Cognition 197\u003cbr\u003eReferences 215\u003cbr\u003eIndex 255David Vernon is Professor at Carnegie Mellon University Africa, Rwanda, and  a Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.","brand":"The MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46302284644581,"sku":"NP9780262552875","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780262552875.jpg?v=1767721821","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/artificial-cognitive-systems-isbn-9780262552875","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
