This important volume examines the phenomena of cognition from an
adaptive perspective. Rather than adhering to the typical practice
in cognitive psychology of trying to predict behavior from a model
of cognitive mechanisms, this book develops a number of models that
successfully predict behavior from the structure of the environment
to which cognition is adapted. The methodology -- called rational
analysis -- involves specifying the information-processing goals of
the system, the structure of the environment, and the computational
constraints on the system, allowing predictions about behavior to
be made by determining what behavior would be optimal under these
assumptions. The Adaptive Character of Thought applies this
methodology in great detail to four cognitive phenomena: memory,
categorization, causal inference, and problem solving.
