Cognitology

This volume presents contemporary scientific perspectives on language, consciousness, thinking, intuition, and qualia as subjects of cognitive research within a natural science framework. Special attention is given to the role of interhemispheric brain asymmetry in the development of speech function, memory, learning ability, consciousness, and intuition. The book also includes material on cognitive zoopsychology and discusses the issue of consciousness in animals. A separate section is devoted to artificial intelligence. The interdisciplinary approach adopted in the presentation promotes a natural science orientation for psychology students. This book is intended for students specializing in biology and psychology, as well as for anyone interested in the workings of the mind.
