ABSTRACT

The theory of information integration, IIT, constitutes a unified, general theory. Its generality has appeared in the foregoing substantive chapters, which cover judgment-decision, functional memory, language processing, psychophysics, cognitive development, moral judgment, and social cognition. Its unity appears in the utility of three concepts, purposiveness-value-information integration, across all these domains. This unity appears further in similar modes of information processing across domains, most notably, modes of valuation and integration, especially in the form of cognitive algebra.
