Maggiori informazioni sul libro
This collection of essays by Margaret Boden, written between 1982 and 1988, explores the intersection of artificial intelligence and psychology. With her characteristic clarity, Boden provides a comprehensive overview, discussing various historical contributions from Babbage to Turing and von Neumann, and examining contemporary theories of parallel processing. She raises critical questions about the potential for a discipline called computational psychology, suggesting that many theoretical psychologists see artificial intelligence as encompassing all phenomena generated by the human mind. This functionalist perspective views the mind as a representational system, with psychology focused on the computational processes that construct, organize, and interpret mental representations. However, there are significant disagreements regarding the computational explanations of psychological phenomena and the most useful AI concepts and computer-modeling methodologies for psychologists. These complex issues are thoroughly investigated in her essays, which include topics such as the nature of mind, the need for artificial brains, intentionality, and the relationship between artificial and biological intelligence. The collection is part of the Explorations in Cognitive Science series, A Bradford Book.
