These original empirical research essays in the psychology of
perception, cognition, and language were written in honor of Henry and
Lila Gleitman, two of the most prominent psychologists of our
time. The essays range across fields foundational to cognitive
science, including perception, attention, memory, and language, using
formal, experimental, and neuroscientific approaches to issues of
representation and learning. An introduction provides a historical
perspective on the development of the field from the 1960s onward. The
contributors have all been colleagues and students of the Gleitmans,
and the collection celebrates their influence on the field of
cognitive science.
