COGNITIVE SCIENCE? ? Cognitive science is the science of mind and behavior. n Of or pertaining to cognition, or to the action or process of knowing (OED) n Understanding knowledge acquisition and use is the key to understanding the mind.

So what is cognitive science? Cognitive science is a scientific study of the mind with special emphasis on the use and acquisition of knowledge and information. Implications An inter-disciplinary approach – Many scientific disciplines contribute to cognitive science. A computational approach – Explain

Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary study of mind and intelligence, embracing philosophy, psychology, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, linguistics, and anthropology. how is the nature of the human mind? “… seeks to understand perceiving, thinking, remembering, understanding language, learning, and other mental phenomena. ” “… a basic science it seeks to discover highly general and explanatory fundamental principles of information processing. ”

…. . Information processing everywhere Perception acquiring real-time information surrounding environment. about the Language use making use of information about syntax, semantics and phonology. Reasoning combining different sources of information, deriving new information, testing consistency of information, etc. Action making use of information in action planning and guidance. one Memory This is reason why cognitive science is inter-disciplinary…. storing and retrieving information

Why there was no cognitive science They didn’t think that knowledge is the key. Perhaps it is a special substance? (Dualism) Perhaps it is stimulus-response? (Behaviorism) They didn’t know about computers. A useful short history: Small stupid steps combine to do http: //ls. berkeley. edu/ugis/cogsci/major/about. php

INTERDISCIPLINARY approach Division of labour Psychology – cognitive psychology, developmental psychology. . Linguistics – syntax, semantics, phonology … Neuroscience – brain structures, localization … Computer science – AI, computer models … Philosophy – theoretical foundations …

…Summary Cognitive science is an inter-disciplinary science of mind and behavior. The computational approach : using computations and representations to explain mental processes. Three levels of descriptions. Coming up next: language as an example.
