Description

"The papers in this volume, are characterised by new ideas, fresh approaches and new criticisms of old ideas. A common theme which is explicit in most papers is a rejection of the adequacy of what might be called classical cognitive science involving 'language of thought' approaches to mental representation. Within AI, this kind of critique has taken the form of a rejection of 'GOFAI', that is the symbolic approach of 'Good Old Fashioned AI.'". "The volume starts with papers which treat the more general issues and those which survey the field of both current and older theories when offering new approaches to mental representation. The volume finishes with papers that focus on more specific topics like the role of representation in memory and the nature of causal representations or something quite different?"--BOOK JACKET.
