Perceptions and Representations

The Theoretical Bases of Brain Research and Psychology

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Originally published in 1978, this study examines the shortcomings of some theoretical approaches to psychological and neurophysiological mechanisms at the time. Keith Oatley illustrates the extent of these shortcomings by showing how inefficient brain researchers - using their present approaches - would be in trying to understand a computer, which is considerably simpler than the human brain.
