LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE

Source cover or paper first page: On Minds: Reflections of a Cognitive Architect

What kind of architecture could support a mind across different tasks and situations?

Paul S. Rosenbloom examines architectures, symbols, intelligence, and theories through decades of research in artificial intelligence and cognitive science.

He maps the choices and trade-offs behind symbolic, neural, and hybrid approaches to intelligent systems.

His account connects work on XAPS, Soar, and Sigma with the search for a Common Model of Cognition.

The book combines conceptual analysis with a research memoir, asking how the fixed organization of a system can make flexible thought possible.
