This book is a practical guide to building computational models of high-level cognitive processes and systems. High-level processes are those central cognitive processes involved in thinking, reasoning, planning, and so on. These processes appear to share representational and processing requirements, and it is for this reason that they are considered together in this text. The book is divided into three parts. Part I considers foundational and background issues. Part II provides a series of case studies spanning a range of cognitive domains. Part III reflects upon issues raised by the case studies. Teachers of cognitive modeling may use material from Part I to structure lectures and practical sessions, with chapters in Part II forming the basis of in-depth student projects. All models discussed in this book are developed within the COGENT environments. COGENT provides a graphical interface in which models may be sketched as "box and arrow" diagrams and is both a useful teaching tool and a productive research tool. As such, this book is designed to be of use to both students of cognitive modeling and active researchers. For students, the book provides essential background material plus an extensive set of example models, exercises and project material. Researchers of both symbolic and connectionist persuasions will find the book of interest for its approach to cognitive modeling, which emphasizes methodological issues. They will also find that the COGENT environment itself has much to offer.

This volume contains a collection of papers presented at the 4th Neural Computation and Psychology Workshop, held in London from 7-11 April 1997. The theme of the workshop was: Connectionist Representations: Theory and Practice which covers many importan t issues ranging from the philosophical (such as the grounding problem), and the physiological (what can connectionist representations tell us about the real neural system?), to the technical (what is needed in order to get specific models to work?). The topic is one of increasing importance within Neural Computing and covers issues of interest to researchers from a wide range of backgrounds including: artificial intelligence, applied mathematics, cognitive science, computer science, neurobiology, phi losophy and psychology. In providing a comprehensive overview of this topic it provides an invaluable contribution to the Perspectives in Neural Computing series.
