| The
Cognitive Science Program at the University of Arizona includes
a state funded research program established in 1986 and a Ph.D.
Minor in Cognitive Science approved in 1990.
Cognitive Science is the
interdisciplinary study of the mind, encompassing the study of intelligent
behavior as well as the brain mechanisms and computations underlying
that behavior. The field is at the intersection of several other disciplines,
including philosophy (knowledge representation, logic), psychology
(basic human cognition, perception, and performance), computer science
(computational theory, artificial intelligence, and robotics), linguistics
(theories of language structure), and cognitive neuroscience (brain
mechanisms for intelligent behavior). Typical research areas of cognitive
science include judgment and decision making, language comprehension
and production, language acquisition, visual recognition of objects
and events, goal directed movement in complex environments, and consciousness.
