An Invitation to Cognitive Science provides a point of entry into the                  vast realm of cognitive science by treating in depth examples of issues and theories                  from many subfields. The first three volumes of the series cover Language, Visual                  Cognition, and Thinking.Volume 4, Methods, Models, and Conceptual Issues, expands                  the series in new directions. The chapters span many areas of cognitive                  science--including artificial intelligence, neural network models, animal cognition,                  signal detection theory, computational models, reaction-time methods, and cognitive                  neuroscience. The volume also offers introductions to several general methods and                  theoretical approaches for analyzing the mind, and shows how some of these                  approaches are applied in the development of quantitative models.Rather than general                  and inevitably superficial surveys of areas, the contributors present "case                  studies"--detailed accounts of one or two achievements within an area. The goal is                  to tell a good story, challenging the reader to embark on an intellectual                  adventure.Daniel N. Osherson, general editor
