	Cognitive science - Psychology Wiki - A Wikia wiki
		Cognitive science is usually defined as the scientific study either of mind or of intelligence (e.g.
		The term Cognitive Science was coined by Christopher Longuet-Higgins in his 1973 commentary on the Lighthill report, which was on the state of Artificial Intelligence research.
		This perspective is one of the reasons the term "cognitive science" is not exactly coextensive with neuroscience, psychology, or some combination of the two.

	cognitive - Information from Reference.com
		The concept of cognition is closely related to such abstract concepts as mind, reasoning, perception, intelligence, learning, and many others that describe numerous capabilities of human mind and expected properties of artificial or synthetic intelligence.
		Cognition is an abstract property of advanced living organisms; therefore, it is studied as a direct property of a brain or of an abstract mind on subsymbolic and symbolic levels.
		The term "cognition" is also used in a wider sense to mean the act of knowing or knowledge, and may be interpreted in a social or cultural sense to describe the emergent development of knowledge and concepts within a group that culminate in both thought and action.

		Practically every formal introduction to cognitive science stresses that it is a highly interdisciplinary research area in which psychology, education, neuroscience, linguistics, philosophy, computer science, anthropology, and biology are its principal specialized or applied branches.
		Cognitive science is an interdisciplinary field with contributors from various fields, including psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, philosophy, computer science, anthropology, biology, and physics.
		The term "cognitive" in "cognitive science" is "used for any kind of mental operation or structure that can be studied in precise terms" (Lakoff and Johnson, 1999).

	Berkeley Book List: Psychology and Cognitive Science
		Beginning in the 1950s, researchers in a number of different disciplines, including philosophy, linguistics, computer science, neurology, and anthropology, came together under to form "cognitive science", an interdisciplinary effort to understand how the mind works, the nature of mind-brain relationships, the possibilities of artificial intelligence, and the role of culture in shaping thought.
		Psychology is a science, situated at the nexus of the natural sciences (as in the study of mind-brain relations) and the social sciences (concerned with the relations between individuals and groups), but it is also a helping profession, with clinical psychologists joining psychiatrists and social workers in providing mental-health services to individuals, families, and communities.
		My book list is supposed to be limited to about half a dozen books, but the range of psychology is so vast that this number can’t begin to encompass the work that is being done, and written about at a level that is accessible to the public.

	Swarthmore College \| Academics \| Course Catalog 2006-07
		The minor in cognitive science has been developed to guide the programs of those who are interested in the interdisciplinary study of the mind, brain, and language, with emphases on formal structure, biological information processing, and computation.
		That is, 2 credits of listed courses from each of three of the six disciplines must be completed, with the exception that in one—and only one—of the three disciplines, a single "focus" course may be used to meet the breadth requirement.
		The list of courses currently approved as cognitive science courses is rather selective because it is intended to focus students on the most essential cores of cognitive science within each discipline.

	Cognitive Science \| Yale College Programs of Study
		Cognitive science is concerned with the study of how organisms (especially humans) acquire, represent, manipulate, and use information.
		A common metaphor in cognitive science is the notion of the mind/brain as an abstract computing device: in those terms, the goal of the discipline is to provide explicit accounts of the mental computations that underlie intelligent performance and the kinds of information that are used.
		Among the focal objects of study that have provided the foundations for contemporary cognitive science as a field are language, vision, reasoning and knowledge representation, motor planning and control, and the nature of consciousness.

	Cognitive Science
		Cognitive scientists study the nature of intelligence from a psychological point of view, mostly building computer models that help elucidate what happens in our brains during problem solving, remembering, perceiving, and other psychological processes.
		This interdisciplinary symposium brought together researchers in robotics, cognitive science, and human-machine interfaces to examine this emerging area, with the hope of establishing a new community for this emerging discipline.
		By cognitive science, we mean work that has some cognitive plausibility (i.e., can arguably be claimed that the representation, strategies, and/or actions have some basis in human cognition; in general C++ code written to do formal reasoning are not cognitively plausible) or person-in-the-loop issues.

	When Cognitive Science Enters Politics — Rockridge Institute
		This divide matters because my cognitive analysis, in Moral Politics, of conservative and progressive ideologies in terms of a nation-as-family metaphor is inconsistent with his version of evolutionary psychology.
		Results from other branches of cognitive science demonstrating the reality of unconscious conceptual metaphor are listed in chapter 6 of Philosophy in the Flesh.
		One of the findings of cognitive science that is most important for politics is that frames are mental structures that can be either associated with words (the surface frames) or that structure higher-level organizations of knowledge.

	Studies on Consciousness, Cognition and Life
		The very fundamental idea of my research is that the mental cannot be reduced to the physical and that somehow the property that, under special circumstances, enables a particular configuration of matter (e.g., the brain) to exhibit "consciousness" must be present in all matter, starting from the most fundamental constituents.
		There are striking similarities between the behavior of cognitive (living) matter and the behavior of non-cognitive (dead) matter (a piece of paper that is repeatedly bent will tend to "remember" of having been bent by "staying" bent).
		The "degrees of cognition" that we find ubiquitous in nature can be expressed in the formalism of Fuzzy Logic, but modern physics is built on Quantum Mechanics, which is built on the Theory of Probabilities.

	Crank Dot Net \| science
		However, with evolution of science and the advent of uncertainty theory and quantum science, it became clear that matter could not be understood in isolation of mind and consciousness.
		Science evolved from the study of interaction of matter to the interaction of fields and concluded that quantum fields is the physical reality and this physical reality, arises from a unified field.
		Unbridled gullibility can destroy science, but unbridled skepticism is no less a threat because it brings both the excessive preservation of the status quo and the supression of unconventional ideas.
