Professor Dudai had an excellent idea: a dictionary/encyclopedia
of terms used in Cognitive Science. Each entry (one-two pages long)
defines and explains
a term, the history and the current state of research.
They are written in plain English, with relatively little
technicalities involved.
One wishes he had also devoted entries to more common terms
such as (gosh) cognition, brain, life, in order to make it
truly a beginners' introduction to the science of mind.
The alphabetical list of entries is followed by
66 pages of references.
The book is an ideal tool for both students and novices.
