- A provocative argument that impacts across the fields of
linguistics, cognitive science, and neuroscience, suggesting new
perspectives on learning mechanisms in the brain
- Proposes that the field of neuroscience can and should benefit
from the recent advances of cognitive science and the development
of information theory
- Suggests that the architecture of the brain is structured
precisely for learning and for memory, and integrates the concept
of an addressable read/write memory mechanism into the foundations
of neuroscience
- Based on lectures in the prestigious Blackwell-Maryland Lectures in Language and Cognition, and now significantly reworked and expanded to make it ideal for students and faculty
