Description

Explore the evolutionary foundations of the mind with Grounds for Cognition: How Goal-guided Behavior Shapes the Mind. Published by Psychology Press, this text addresses the fundamental question of why organisms require cognition. It posits that cognition serves as a naturally selected response to the evolutionary pressure of guiding behavior toward specific goals. This book examines how organisms act as material systems that maintain and replicate themselves by engaging with their environments in goal-directed ways. By understanding how the guidance of behavior to goals explains the existence of cognition, readers gain insight into how mental processes manage information to achieve goal satisfaction. It is a deep dive into how biological programs use information to navigate the world effectively.
