Dictionaries

  • Dictionary of Cognitive Science : Neuroscience, Psychology, Artificial Intelligence, Linguistics, and Philosophy
    The text clearly and concisely describes the key concepts of the five core disciplines of cognitive science, with enough detail to assist readers in their collaboration with colleagues in the other disciplines.

Each entry is broken down into as many of five sections, depending on the number of disciplines to which it is applicable.

    Coverage includes all areas of psychology, together with technical words from other disciplines used by psychologists. These include psychoanalysis, psychiatry, neuroanatomy, and statistics--subjects that are often excluded from single-volume dictionaries of psychology.
