Abstract

This book is designed to introduce students in psychology to the skills and concepts that will allow them to understand and write computer programs in areas ranging from building models and perceptual processes to the simulation of natural-language processing. Students with a solid background in Pascal will have no trouble moving on to the more sophisticated language Lisp, but less able students may find some of the material difficult.
