Researchers from artificial intelligence, cognitive science, computer science, neurobiology, philosophy, and psychology explore computational models of language, development, high-level cognition, and action and emotion. The 20 papers consider such topics as modeling language-vision interaction in the hub-and-spoke framework, unexpected predictability in the Hawaiian passive, testing a dynamic neural field model of children's category labeling, reinforcement-modulated self-organization in infant motor speech learning, interactive activation networks for modeling problem solving, modeling the actor-critic architecture by combining recent work in reservoir computing and temporal difference learning in complex environments, and a neuro-computational study of laughter.

Computational Models of Cognitive Processes collects refereed versions of papers presented at the 13th Neural Computation and Psychology Workshop (NCPW13) that took place July 2012, in San Sebastian (Spain). This workshop series is a well-established and unique forum that brings together researchers from such diverse disciplines as artificial intelligence, cognitive science, computer science, neurobiology, philosophy and psychology to discuss their latest work on models of cognitive processes.
