Reviews
Integrating the Mind is a must have volume for working researchers and graduate students in a variety of cognitive science disciplines. - Keith Stanovich, University of Toronto The idea that central cognitive processes may be 'massively modular' and that this modularity is underpinned by evolutionary forces, has become increasingly influential in the past 15 years. This collection provides a much needed counterweight, critically re-evaluating the evidence for the modular view, and outlining alternative 'integrated' views of central cognitive processes. - Nick Chater, Professor of Cognitive and Decision Sciences, University College London Integrating the Mind: Domain Specific Processes in Higher Cognition is a book that challenges both the massive modularity hypothesis and extreme contextualism, perspectives on cognition that emphasize the central importance of domain-specific processes that operate only in narrow contexts. - Michael Hogan, PsycCRITIQUES
