by Nick Chater ...

An eminent, award-winning behavioral scientist offers a radical interpretation of how the mind works, revealing the illusion of mental depth."This is a total assault on all lingering psychiatric and psychoanalytic notions of mental depths to be plumbed. For Chater, surface is everything: we are all characters of our own creation, busily creating and improvising our behavior based on experience. ... Read more

Forget the language instinct—this is the story of how we make up language as we goLanguage is perhaps humanity’s most astonishing capacity—and one that remains poorly understood. In The Language Game, cognitive scientists Morten H. Christiansen and Nick Chater show us where generations of scientists seeking the rules of language got it wrong. Language isn’t about hardwired grammars but about near ... Read more

Rationality In An Uncertain World

The papers demonstrate that the thesis that logic provides the basis of human inference is central to much cognitive science, although the commitment to this view is often implicit. They then note that almost all human ... Read more
