How the Body Shapes the Way We Think
A New View of Intelligence (A Bradford Book)
by Rolf Pfeifer, Josh C. Bongard, University Of Zurich
Paperback, 418 Pages, Published 2006 by A Bradford Book
ISBN-13: 978-0-262-53742-1, ISBN: 0-262-53742-7

"An exploration of embodied intelligence and its implications points toward a theory of intelligence in general; with case studies of intelligent systems in ubiquitous computing, business and management, human memory, and robotics.How could the body influence our thinking when it seems obvious that the brain controls the body? In How the Body Shapes the Way We Think, Rolf Pfeifer and Josh Bongard demonstrate that thought is not independe ..."

How the Body Shapes the Way We Think(1st Edition)
A New View of Intelligence (A Bradford Book)
by Rolf Pfeifer, Josh Bongard, Shun Iwasawa, Rodney Allen Brooks, Simon Grand, Rodney Brooks
Hardcover, 394 Pages, Published 2006 by A Bradford Book
Illustriert
ISBN-13: 978-0-262-16239-5, ISBN: 0-262-16239-3

"How could the body influence our thinking when it seems obvious that the brain controls the body? In How the Body Shapes the Way We Think, Rolf Pfeifer and Josh Bongard demonstrate that thought is not independent of the body but is tightly constrained, and at the same time enabled, by it. They argue that the kinds of thoughts we are capable of have their foundation in our e ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-262-25679-7, ISBN: 0-262-25679-7

"By the mid-1980s researchers from artificial intelligence, computer science, brain and cognitive science, and psychology realized that the idea of computers as intelligent machines was inappropriate. The brain does not run "programs"; it does something entirely different. But what? Evolutionary theory says that the brain has evolved not to do mathematical proofs but to cont ..."

"By the mid-1980s researchers from artificial intelligence, computer science, brain and cognitive science, and psychology realized that the idea of computers as intelligent machines was inappropriate. The brain does not run "programs"; it does something entirely different. But what? Evolutionary theory says that the brain has evolved not to do mathematical proofs but to control our behavior, to ensure our survival. Researchers now agree ..."

700 Pages, Published 2001 by Mit Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-262-25079-5, ISBN: 0-262-25079-9

"In this chapter we will briefly review classical AI and cognitive science. ... For example, if one peruses the literature in cognitive psychology or computational linguistics, we find that, for the most part, classical thinking still dominates. Moreover, the classical perspective has much appeal and is compatible with most people's intuitions about intelligence. ... directed to any of the many excellent books on this topic, particu ..."
