I appreciate the tips. Don’t sink too much time into it: Cognitive Science had plenty of “Further Reading” suggestions that I can draw from. I think Kaj_Sotala might be on to something in the comment below: in order to get the depth/data I was looking for, I may have better luck reading focused texts rather than searching for One Cognitive Science Textbook to Rule Them All. I’d ask for suggestions, but at a glance it seems like the remainder of the MIRI course list will suffice :-)
I’ve now skimmed through The Cognitive Sciences: An Interdisciplinary Approach, and I’m pretty sure you would dislike it even more than the Bermudez book. The other one I linked above seems even worse, from its Amazon reviews. :(
