Reviews

"The group of authors (as well as the editor) certainly rates as distinguished. There are a
number of 'classic members' of the cognitive science field, such as Chipman herself, and
Marcel Just, David Kieras, Clayton Lewis, Jay McClelland, Randall O'Reilly, and Ron Sun. And
then there are a number of up-and-coming cognitive scientists who will be the next
generation of 'classic members' of the field. I believe readers will be very satisfied with the
author lineup."
