Subject:  Re: Cognitive Science intro text
 
To follow on a previous discussion on cognitive science intro texts, I
want to share with you some information which I just recovered while I
was preparing for my cog sci class (I lost it due to my move from Hong
Kong to Virginia). About a year ago I sent a similar inquiry to the
cognitive psychology mailing list (cogpsy at cogsci.soton.ac.uk) and got
many wonderful replies. Enclosed please my original summary. You will
see that there are some overlaps with the summaries that Barbara and
Rapaport gave a few weeks ago.
 
Having taught Cognitive Science for sometime now to psychology majors,
I now feel that no single text can fit into the needs of individual
instructors. Next time I will probably go with a binder that includes
my own list of journal articles and book chapters.
