4 credits
Cognitive science is the multidisciplinary study of the mental structures and processes involved in sensation, perception, consciousness, attention, memory, problem solving, reasoning, and language. We will draw on the fields of philosophy, psychology, computer science, neuroscience, linguistics, and anthropology in consideration of the types of questions and methodology that comprise cognitive science. Further, we will consider the many real world applications in the fields of engineering, computer science, marketing, education, medicine, and the law.
