However, one of the major achievements of neuroscience has been the discovery that the brain has incredible powers of renewal and reorganization. This \"neuroplasticity,\" in its various forms, has challenged many of the orthodox conceptions of the mind which originally led cognitive scientists to postulate hardwired mental modules.    This book examines how such discoveries have changed the way we think about the structure of the mind. It contends that the mind is more supple than prevailing theories in cognitive science and artificial intelligence acknowledge. The book uses language as a test case. The claim that language is cognitively special has often been understood as the claim that it is underpinned by dedicated-and innate-cognitive mechanisms. Zerilli offers a fresh take on how our linguistic abilities could be domain-general: enabled by a composite of very small and redundant cognitive subsystems, few if any of which are likely to be specialized for language. In arguing for this position, however, the book takes seriously various cases suggesting that language dissociates from other cognitive faculties.    Accessibly written, The Adaptable Mind is a fascinating account of neuroplasticity, neural reuse, the modularity of mind, the evolution of language, and faculty psychology.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50999616930065,"sku":"NIN9780190067885","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52488660943121,"sku":"NLS9780190067885","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0190067888.jpg?v=1751194751"},{"product_id":"citizen-s-guide-to-artificial-intelligence-book-john-zerilli-9780262553926","title":"A Citizen's Guide to Artificial Intelligence","description":"\u003cb\u003eA concise but informative overview of AI ethics and policy.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Artificial intelligence, or AI for short, has generated a staggering amount of hype in the past several years.

How is it likely to affect us as customers, tenants, aspiring homeowners, students, educators, patients, clients, prison inmates, members of ethnic and sexual minorities, and voters in liberal democracies? Authored by experts in fields ranging from computer science and law to philosophy and cognitive science, this book offers a concise overview of moral, political, legal and economic implications of AI. It covers the basics of AI's latest permutation, machine learning, and considers issues such as transparency, bias, liability, privacy, and regulation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Both business and government have integrated algorithmic decision support systems into their daily operations, and the book explores the implications for our lives as citizens. For example, do we take it on faith that a machine knows best in approving a patient's health insurance claim or a defendant's request for bail? What is the potential for manipulation by targeted political ads? How can the processes behind these technically sophisticated tools ever be transparent? The book discusses such issues as statistical definitions of fairness, legal and moral responsibility, the role of humans in machine learning decision systems, \"nudging\" algorithms and anonymized data, the effect of automation on the workplace, and AI as both regulatory tool and target.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51783881097489,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51783881392401,"sku":"NGR9780262553926","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-ie\/collections\/author-books-by-john-zerilli.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
