Cognitive Science Definition As the science of the mind, cognitive science is concerned with human cognition, i.e., mental phenomena such as perceiving, thinking, remembering, language comprehension, learning, and emotion.

Cognitive Science Overview Introduction, Syllabus Cognitive Science Defined Assumptions of Cognitive Science Cognitive Science and Instructional Design

Cognitive Science Assumptions Scientific assumption Mind as natural phenomenon Governed by physical processes Observable

Cognitive Science Lateral Brain Somatosensory cortex Motor cortex Sensory associative cortex Visual associative cortex Broca’s area Visual cortex Primary Auditory cortex Wernicke’s area

Cognitive Science Information Processing Information processing Claims Cognitive processing=series of stages of information transformation Higher mental processes can be understood as collective actions of a set of elementary operations Human cognition has limited capacity for storing and transmitting information Analogy of cognitive processing and computer processing

Cognitive Science Assumptions Cognition as a form of computation, Mind is information processing system Formal information processes–can be studied as patterns and the manipulation of patterns (independent of a particular instance)

Cognitive Science Cognitive Information Processing

Scenario Cognitive Science Discussion What are the limits of the Computer Metaphor for human information processing? Compare to Neural Net approaches.

Cognitive Science Cognition Cognition as a form of computation, Mind is information processing system Mental representations–Separation of symbols from their meaning Separating thinking processes from their physical basis Cognitive Science is basic science

Scenario Cognitive Science Discussion Can information processing be separated -from the biological or neurological (I.e., from the function of the brain itself), -from the sociological or cultural (i.e., from its meaning)? Can you provide examples to make your case?
