This book is a definitive reference source for the growing,
increasingly more important, and interdisciplinary field of
computational cognitive modeling, that is, computational psychology.
It combines breadth of coverage with definitive statements by leading
scientists in this field. Research in computational cognitive
modeling (or, simply, computational psychology) explores the essence
of cognition and various cognitive functionalities through developing
detailed, process-based understanding by specifying computational
mechanisms, structures, and processes. Given the complexity of the
human mind and its manifestation in behavioral flexibility, process-
based computational models may be necessary to explicate and
elucidate the intricate details of the mind. The key to understanding
cognitive processes is often in fine details. Computational models
provide algorithmic specificity: detailed, exactly specified, and
carefully thought-out steps, arranged in precise yet flexible
sequences. These models provide both conceptual clarity and precision
at the same time. This book substantiates this approach through
overviews and many examples.
