Advances in Cognitive Science v 2

This is the second volume of high quality papers on the current challenges in the field of cognitive science, linking it to various interfacing disciplines like psychology, neuroscience, computer science, linguistics, and philosophy. The papers can be categorized into the four important domains of Learning and Memory, Perception and Attention, Time Perception and Language, Cognition and Development. The first section focuses on basic cognitive processes of learning and memory including simple associative processes, spatial memory, sequence learning, and implicit learning. The next section focuses on vision and attention, especially on multisensory spatial perception, basic attentional processes, and modeling of attention. The third section dwells on time perception covering behavioral and neural studies, and the last section includes chapters on normal and abnormal development, especially focusing on language development and related cognitive abilities. This book is a useful supplementary reading resource for those studying computational modeling, cognitive neuroscience, culture and cognition, cognitive development, psycholinguistics, attention, and perception. It would also aid the R&D of IT companies in the fields of human-computer interaction, artificial intelligence, and robotics, and companies involved in human factors engineering.
