This textbook provides a general introduction to the field of neural networks.
Thoroughly revised and updated from the previous editions of 1991 and 2000, the
current edition concentrates on networks for modeling brain processes involved
in cognitive and behavioral functions. Part one explores the philosophy of
modeling and the fields history starting from the mid-1940s, and then discusses
past models of associative learning and of short-term memory that provide
building blocks for more complex recent models. Part two of the book reviews
recent experimental findings in cognitive neuroscience and discusses models of
conditioning, categorization, category learning,
