What's in a sample? A manual for building cognitive theories (2006)
Authors
Abstract
(from the chapter) How do you build a model of mind? I discuss this question from the point of view of sampling. The idea that the mind samples information--from memory or from the environment--became prominent only after researchers began to emphasize sampling methods. This chapter provides a toolbox of potential uses of sampling, each of which can form a building block in a cognitive theory. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
