The editors of this book invited some of the most distinguished cognitive scientists of our day to be frankly speculative about how they see their field in the year 2001. Contributors discuss topics that range from artificial intelligence and memory to gene splicing and cognitive development. Whilst wide ranging, the central theme is the nature of human cognition - and the nature of the field of cognitive psychology - and how they may change over the next century.
