The most important distinction derived from the computational view
of thought is between structures and processes. So proclaimed Farah
and Kosslyn in 1982, arguing that structures and processes cannot
be examined in isolation and concluding that converging operations
are required to isolate the structure-process pair that can explain
a particular finding. The distinction between structure and process
within the study of percepts, concepts and categories is considered
in depth in this volume, with penetrating commentaries by fellow
authors concluding each chapter. This interesting format achieves a
broad coverage of the various aspects and implications of the
structure-process distinction. It affords a salient indication of
the diversity of positions as to the description and utility of
distinguishing structures and processors. At the same time, it
reveals that researchers specializing in areas of study ranging
from simple structure and process involved in perceptual
organization and texture to complex structure and process
associated with reading graphs and chess expertise, do utilize such
a distinction in similar ways. The analysis is organized into four
major parts within the book: Early Visual Representation and
Processing; Percepts, Concepts, Categories and Development;
Categories, Concepts and Learning; and Higher-Order Representation
and Processing.
