Causal Cognition by Dan Sperber
An understanding of cause--effect relationships is fundamental to the study of cognition. In this book, outstanding specialists from comparative psychology, social psychology, developmental psychology, anthropology, and philosophy present the newest developments in the study of causal cognition and discuss their different perspectives. They reflect on the role and forms of causal knowledge, both in animal and human cognition, on the development of human causal cognition from infancy, and on the relationship between individual and cultural aspects of causal understanding. The result is a state-of-the-art, informative, insightful, and interdisciplinary debate aimed at the non-specialist.
This book brings together approaches from disciplines such as comparative psychology, social psychology, developmental psychology, anthropology, and philosophy to present the newest developments in the study of causal cognition and to discuss their different perspectives* Journal of Consumer 20:4, Dec 1997 *
