It is manifest in emotive as well as rational thought. Wending its way through the various facets of abstraction, the book attempts to clarify - and relate - the often confusing meanings of the word 'abstract' that one may encounter even within the same discipline. The unusual synoptic approach, which draws upon research in psychology, neural network theory, child language acquisition, philosophy and consciousness studies, as well as a variety of linguistic disciplines, cannot be compared directly to other books on the market that touch upon just one particular aspect of abstraction. It is aimed at a wide readership - anyone interested in the nature of abstraction and the cognitive processing and purpose behind it--$cSource other than Library of Congress. 410 0$aAdvances in consciousness research ;$v94. 606 $aAbstraction 606 $aThought and thinking 606 $aNeurolinguistics 615 0$aAbstraction. 615 0$aThought and thinking. 615 0$aNeurolinguistics. 676 $a153.24 700 $aFortescue$b Michael$0662476 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792867103321 996 $aThe abstraction engine$93793896 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02276nam 2200649 450 001 9910786689903321 005 20230803203235.0 010 $a1-4438-6152-9 035 $a(CKB)3710000000134401 035 $a(OCoLC)881608340 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10885609 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001321687 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11814362 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001321687 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11373040 035 $a(PQKB)10022270 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1716666 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10885609 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL620403 035 $a(FINmELB)ELB148314 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1716666 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000134401 100 $a20140628h20142014 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aProceedings of the 2012 international conference on detection and classification of underwater targets /$fedited by Isabelle Quidu, Vincent Myers and Benoit Zerr ; Andreja Abina [and fifty six others], contributors 210 1$aNewcastle upon Tyne, England :$cCambridge Scholars Publishing,$d2014. 210 4$dİ2014 215 $a1 online resource (291 p.) 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 $a1-306-89152-3 311 $a1-4438-5709-2 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters. 606 $aDetectors$xComputer simulation$vCongresses 606 $aDetectors$xDesign and construction$vCongresses 606 $aEnvironmental engineering 606 $aSensor networks 615 0$aDetectors$xComputer simulation 615 0$aDetectors$xDesign and construction 615 0$aEnvironmental engineering. 615 0$aSensor networks. 676 $a681.2 702 $aQuidu$b Isabelle 702 $aMyers$b Vincent 702 $aZerr$b Benoit 702 $aAbina$b Andreja 712 12$aInternational Conference on Detection and Classification of Underwater Targets 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786689903321 996 $aProceedings of the 2012 international conference on detection and classification of underwater targets$93806515 997 $aUNINA
