Cognitive Mechanisms of Learning

Cognitive Mechanisms of Learning presents experimental research works on the issue of knowledge acquisition in Cognitive Psychology. These research works Â- initiated by groups of researchers with academic backgrounds in Philosophy, Psychology, Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence Â- explore learning mechanisms by viewing humans as information processing systems. Although the book is centered on research studies conducted in a laboratory, one chapter is dedicated to applied research studies, derived directly from the fundamental research works. Computer modeling of learning mechanisms is presented, based on the concept of �cognitive architecture�. Three important issues Â- �the methodology�, �the achievements� and �the evolution� Â- in the field of learning research are also examined. [Publisher's Text]
