Conceptual Spaces: The Geometry of Thought

By Peter Gärdenfors

Book Overview

Within cognitive science, two approaches currently dominate the problem of modelling representations. The symbolic approach views cognition as computation involving symbolic manipulation. Connectionism, a special case of associationism, models associations using artificial neuron networks. Peter Gardenfors offers his theory of conceptual representations as a bridge between the symbolic and connectionist approaches.
