Each chapter tells a coherent scientific story, whether developingthemes and ideas or describing a particular model and exploring its implications.The volumes areself contained and can be used individually in upper-level undergraduate and graduate coursesranging from introductory psychology, linguistics, cognitive science, and decision sciences, tosocial psychology, philosophy of mind, rationality, language, and vision science.
