	Cognitive science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term cognitive science was coined by Christopher Longuet-Higgins in his 1973 commentary on the Lighthill report, which concerned the then-current state of Artificial Intelligence research.
		Most in cognitive science, however, presumably do not believe their field is the study of anything as certain as the knowledge sought by Plato.
		Cognitive science is a large field, and covers a wide array of topics on cognition.

		Cognitive Science is an interdisciplinary area with conceptual and methodological roots in several fields, including artificial intelligence, psychology, linguistics, philosophy, intelligent systems, robotics, human-machine systems engineering, anthropology, sociology, and neuroscience.
		Cognitive Science unites researchers in these fields who focus on understanding the nature of cognition.
		Cognition, Design, and Technology as a theme posits that understanding of the human mind and understanding of the technologies humans create are inextricably related.

	Case Department of Cognitive Science
		Cognitive science brings the insights and methods of natural science, social science, and certain of the humanities to the study of the mind.
		Cognitive science programs have emerged in recent years in response to a call for an integrated approach that does not restrict the study of the mind to a single discipline.
		Our department's work is grounded in the fundamental cognitive sciences of neurobiology, neuroscience, psychology, biology, and anthropology, but is unique in its special focus on human creativity and invention, particularly art and technology -- the systems invented by human beings to guide their thought and action both individually and culturally.

	Cognitive Science
		Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary study of mind and intelligence, embracing philosophy, psychology, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, linguistics, and anthropology.
		Cognitive science has unifying theoretical ideas, but we have to appreciate the diversity of outlooks and methods that researchers in different fields bring to the study of mind and intelligence.
		Cognitive science is becoming increasingly aware of the need to view the operations of mind in particular physical and social environments.

		Where the study of consciousness is concerned, I think it's important to have a background in cognitive psychology (especially perception and memory), neuroscience (especially the cognitive neuroscience of vision), and the philosophy of mind.
		In the science of consciousness, the greatest breakthroughs have probably been in the study of neural correlates of visual consciousness: we don't have anything like a full understanding here, but there is suddenly an active and thriving research program where before there was very little.
		Cognitive science is still more of a collection of fields than a single field, and I think this is not such a bad thing: one needs careful attention to fine details to make progress, and that requires specialization.

	Cognitive Science Program
		Cognitive science has arguably been the most important development in the study of human thinking in the past twenty years; its influence can be seen across a wide variety of disciplines, from logic to communication disorders.
		The goal of theoretical cognitive science is to determine those knowledge structures and processes that characterize organisms as biological information processing systems, to explain how these organisms come to possess this knowledge, and to account for the patterns in the breakdown of this knowledge.
		Cognitive learning strategies are grounded in theories of how children learn, think, remember, and solve problems, and are applied to knowledge domains that are included in school instruction (i.e., mathematics, science, reading, and writing).

		Cognitive Science is an interdisciplinary field that has arisen during the past decade at the intersection of a number of existing disciplines, including psychology, linguistics, computer science, philosophy, and physiology.
		With the advent of Cognitive Science, however, common interests and theoretical ideas have overcome methodological differences, and interdisciplinary interaction has become the hallmark of this field.

	Department of Cognitive Science
		Cognitive science is a multi-disciplinary approach to the study of cognition and intelligent systems.
		The study of cognitive science incorporates elements of neuroscience (the study of the brain), computer science, psychology, philosophy, anthropology and linguistics.
		A cognitive science background can supplement studies that prepare students for careers in computer and information technology (software or expert systems development, mind/machine interface research, the machine processing of language), in medicine, or in areas of human interaction and development where a knowledge of cognitive processes is important.
