GirlHacker's Random Log

almost daily since 1999

 

The Center for Cognitive Sciences at the University of Minnesota created a list of Cognitive Science’s Top 100 works. Included are such classics as “The magical number seven, plus or minus two”, “The information available in brief visual presentations” (which introduced iconic memory), and “Mental rotation of three-dimensional objects”. Other notable inclusions are Piaget’s work with children and the development of the mind, and Chomsky’s “A review of Skinner’s Verbal Behavior” which helped put behaviorism to rest. There are also a couple works that were published after I got my degree, which reminds me that I can’t continue to claim expert knowledge with such a new science if I don’t keep on top of the latest stuff.
