• Sommario/riassunto: Seemingly simple behaviours turn out, on reflection, to be discouragingly complex. For many years, cognitive operations such as sensation, perception, comparing percepts to stored models (short-term and long-term memory), decision-making and planning of actions were treated by most neuroscientists as separate areas of research. This was not because the neuroscience community believed these operations to act independently-it is intuitive that any common cognitive process seamlessly interweaves these operations-but because too little was known about the individual processes constituting the full
