Background

Things to watch out for

• Intro lays out the task and basic history.
• Next section describes the basics of the theory. Try hard to understand the details, especially Fig. 1.
• Box 1 highlights an interesting specific application of this theory. Try to think of some similar examples. Regular or irregular?
• Fig 2 relates to the topic brought up in Box 1. Try to understand it -- but this is not as critical as Fig. 1.
• Fig 3 shows a good example of cross-disciplinary evidence in Cognitive Science. Lots of technical terms here. Don't worry trying to understand it like a neuroscientist would, but look up enough of the words to get the main point.
• Don't skimp on the final section. This gives their idea of where current/future research are focusing/will focus.
