It is argued that the traditional distinction between artificial intelligence and cognitive
simulation amounts to little more than a difference in style of research-a different ordering in …

An emerging class of theories concerning the functional structure of the brain takes the
reuse of neural circuitry for various cognitive purposes to be a central organizational …

Abstracts Cognitive science typically postulates unconscious mental phenomena,
computational or otherwise, to explain cognitive capacities. The mental phenomena in …

Some regularities enjoy only an attenuated existence in a body of training data. These are
regularities whose statistical visibility depends on some systematic recoding of the data. The …

This book proposes a theory of human cognitive evolution, drawing from paleontology,
linguistics, anthropology, cognitive science, and especially neuropsychology. The properties …

This article is a synopsis of a triarchic theory of human intelligence. The theory comprises
three subtheories: a contextual subtheory, which relates intelligence to the external world of …

Neural reuse is a form of neuroplasticity whereby neural elements originally developed for
one purpose are put to multiple uses. A diverse behavioral repertoire is achieved by means …

Recent studies on neural pathways in a broad spectrum of vertebrates suggest that, in
addition to migration and an increase in the number of certain select neurons, a significant …

It is worthwhile to search for forms of coding, processing, and learning common to various
cortical regions and cognitive functions. Local cortical processors may coordinate their …

Brain evolution is a complex weave of species similarities and differences, bound by diverse
rules and principles. This book is a detailed examination of these principles, using data from …
