title: The immune system and other cognitive systems creator: Hershberg, Uri creator: Efroni, Sol subject: Animal Cognition subject: Theoretical Biology subject: Cognitive Psychology subject: Developmental Psychology subject: Learnability subject: Syntax subject: Perceptual Cognitive Psychology subject: Philosophy of Mind subject: Psycholinguistics description: In the following pages we propose a theory on cognitive systems and the common strategies of perception, which are at the basis of their function. We demonstrate that these strategies are easily seen to be in place in known cognitive systems such as vision and language. Furthermore we show that taking these strategies into consideration implies a new outlook on immune function calling for a new appraisal of the immune system as a cognitive system. publisher: Jhon Wiley and sons inc. date: 2001-05 type: Journal (Paginated) type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/2276/3/cogimmune.pdf identifier: Hershberg, Uri and Efroni, Sol (2001) The immune system and other cognitive systems.
