"Higher Level Language Processes in the Brain" is a groundbreaking
book that explains how behavior research, computational models, and
brain imaging results can be unified in the study of human
comprehension. The volume illustrates the most comprehensive and
newest findings on the topic. Each section of the book nurtures the
theoretical and practical integration of behavioral, computational,
and brain imaging studies along a different avenue, and each is
supplementary. Readers with limited background knowledge on the
methods are presented with an easy-to-read, state-of-the-art
exposition that is conceptualized and written from a
well-established point of view.
"Higher Level Language Processes in the Brain "is intended for
advanced undergraduate and graduate cognitive science students, as
well as researchers and practitioners who seek to learn and apply
scientific knowledge about human comprehension to reading analysis.
A cognitive psychology which becomes increasingly specialized
requires a special effort in order to avoid a fragmentation into
several controversial issues that are independently discussed but
also inherently related. Rather than asking additional
differentiated questions which are then investigated by more
specialized experimental methods and designs, this book promotes
unified theories and a levels approach for their experimental
evaluation. Within this cognitive science approach and on the basis
of the most foundational assumptions of Kintsch's construction
integration theory, a computational theory of knowledge acquisition
is then developed and subsequently evaluated by psychological
experiments. For forty years, computer simulation techniques and
experimental psychology research have greatly matured the
understanding of human knowledge and its acquisition in different
learning environments. This volume critically assesses the
advantages and limitations of these approaches and then develops an
integrated research methodology. It goes on to provide significant
progress concerning the following questions: * What are the most
promising research methodologies for investigating human cognition?
* How can the experimental psychology research on text
comprehension, concept formation, and memory become more closely
related to one another when the very specialized research paradigms
and the highly specific scientific controversies promote their
separation and independent discussion? * How can a general
comprehension-based theory bridge the gap between simple
experimental settings and the real-life situations that occur in
education and work environments? This book demonstrates how
experimental psychology can proceed more successfully by
investigating those aspects that are shared among different areas
of research like text comprehension, categorization, and learning
by exploration. It also shows how unified theories can assist in
applying experimental psychology and cognitive science results to
areas such as intelligent tutoring systems, instructional design,
and the development of expert systems in complex real world
domains.
The aim of the European Cognitive Science Conference is the
presentation of empirical, theoretical, and analytic work from all
areas of interest in cognitive science, such as artificial
intelligence, education, linguistics, neuroscience, philosophy,
psychology, and anthropology. The focus is on interdisciplinary
work that is either of interest for more than one of the research
areas mentioned or integrates research methods from different
fields. With contributions by cognitive scientists from 20
different countries, the papers in this volume reflect the origins
of this conference, as well as its international scope.

This book has its source in the question of whether any knowledge
engineering tools can be applied or analyzed in cognition research
and what insights and methods of cognitive science might be
relevant for knowledge engineers. It presents the proceedings of a
workshop organized by the Special Interest Groups Cognition and
Knowledge Engineering of the German Society for Informatics, held
in February 1992 in Kaiserslautern. The book is structured into
three parts. The first part contrasts work in knowledge engineering
with approaches from the side of the "soft sciences." The second
part deals with case-based approaches in expert systems. Cognition
research and the cognitive adequacy of expert systems are discussed
in the third part. Contributions from Canada, England, France,
Switzerland, and the USA demonstrate how knowledge engineering and
cognitive science are woven together internationally.

Methodological knowledge acquisition and knowledge engineering have
achievedincreasing attention in recent years due both to active
research projects and to successful practical applications. Both
aspects have over the years been reflected in the structure of the
European Knowledge Acquisition Workshops (EKAW), where a users'
forum has always been combined with a scientific workshop. This
volume contains the proceedings of EKAW-92. The papers are
organized into five thematic sectionson: - Technology transfer -
General modelling approaches - Knowledgeformalization and automated
methods - Elicitation and diagnosis of human knowledge - Practice
and experiences of knowledge acquisition. A total of 65 persons
from around the world served as the program committee. Their
recommendations and sometimes very detailed comments helped both
workshop organizers and individual authors to achieve the high
quality reflected in this volume.
