It analyses and evaluates whether MTHC provides a unifying account of human cognition and its explanation. The book presents a systematic investigation of the internal and external consistency of the theory, as well as a systematic comparison with other contemporary major theories in the field. In this sense, it provides a fresh look at more recent major theoretical debates in this area of scientific research and a rigorous analysis of one of its most central major theories. Rigorous theoretical work is integrated with objective consideration of relevant empirical evidence, making the discussions robust and clear. As a result, the book shows that MTHC provides a significant theoretical contribution for the field of cognitive science. The content is useful for those interested in theoretical and empirical issues concerning major theories in the contemporary field of cognitive science. 410 0$aCognitive Systems Monographs,$x1867-4925 ;$v41 606 $aCognitive psychology 606 $aComputational intelligence 606 $aNeurosciences 615 0$aCognitive psychology. 615 0$aComputational intelligence. 615 0$aNeurosciences. 676 $a153 700 $aLeite$b Diego Azevedo$01074229 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484959203321 996 $aThe twenty-first century mechanistic theory of human cognition$92572014 997 $aUNINA
