Seller's Description:
Very good. Ex-library. xiv, 207 pages; 24 cm Understanding computers and cognition: a new foundation for design 16 reviews Authors: Terry Winograd (Author), Fernando Flores (Author) Summary: Understanding Computers and Cognition presents an important and controversial new approach to understanding what computers do and how their functioning is related to human language, thought, and action. While it is a book about computers, Understanding Computers and Cognition goes beyond the specific issues of what computers can or can't do. It is a broad-ranging discussion exploring the background of understanding in which the discourse about computers and technology takes place. Understanding Computers and Cognition is written for a wide audience, not just those professionals involved in computer design or artificial intelligence. It represents an important contribution to the ongoing discussion about what it means to be a machine, and what it means to be human Print Book, English, 1987 Edition: View all formats and editions Publisher: Addison-Wesley, Reading, Mass., 1987 Physical Description: xiv, 207 pages; 24 cm ISBN: 9780201112979, 0201112973 OCLC Number / Unique Identifier: 16666046 Subjects: Artificial intelligence Computer Computers Conception de syste?mes Datenverarbeitung Gesellschaft Ku?nstliche Intelligenz Ordinateurs Philosophie System design computers Contents: Theoretical background Introduction The rationalistic tradition Understanding and being Cognition as a biological phenomenon Language, listening, and commitment Towards a new orientation Computation, thought, and language Computers and representation Computation and intelligence Understanding language Current directions in artificial intelligence Design Management and conversation Using computers: a direction for design Notes: Originally published by Ablex Corporation, Norwood, N.J. in 1987
