The Science of the Mind Summary

The Science of the Mind: 2001 and Beyond by Robert L. Solso (Professor of Psychology, Professor of Psychology, University of Nevada, Reno)

The editors of this book invited some of the most distinguished cognitive scientists of our day to be frankly speculative about how they see their field in the year 2001. Contributors discuss topics that range from artificial intelligence and memory to gene splicing and cognitive development. Whilst wide ranging, the central theme is the nature of human cognition - and the nature of the field of cognitive psychology - and how they may change over the next century.

The Science of the Mind Reviews

"The essays offer amusing summaries of major breakthrough areas of psychology and neurobiology ... This volume is especially interesting for how psychologists feel about the future of what we can know now, a future very much operationally defined by the tools we invent. Recommended for academic psychologists or as an introduction to major trends in research psychology." -- The Reader's Review "The essays offer amusing summaries of major breakthrough areas of psychology and neurobiology ...
