From: nosc!humu!uhccux!todd@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu (The Perplexed Wiz) An intro text I often recommend to people with a more than casual interest in cognition is: Anderson, John (1985). Cognitive Psychology and Its Implications. (2nd edition) New York: W.H. Freeman and Co. The 1st edition also has much to recommend it. It was written from a psychological viewpoint, and introduces vocabulary and concepts that may be unfamiliar to computer scientists. The 2nd edition was rewritten with an AI (or cognitive psychology!) vocabulary, hence risks echoing the preconceptions of the field instead of contributing fresh insights. -- Ken
