Cognitive Science and Concepts of Mind : Toward a General Theory of Human and Artificial Intelligence

For all of recorded history prior to the second half of the 20th century, there has been but one realm in which the cognitive processes of reasoning and problem solving, learning and discovery, language and mathematics took place. The realm of human intellect no longer has an exclusive claim on these cognitive processes - artificial intelligence represents a parallel claim. Morton Wagman's text compares the two realms, identifies consonant and disparate modes of cognition, and identifies a general theory of human and artificial intelligence.
