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.

Its intellectual origins are in the mid-1950s when researchers in several fields began to develop theories of mind based on complex representations and computational procedures. Its organizational origins are in the mid-1970s when the Cognitive Science Society was formed and the journal Cognitive Science began. Since then, more than sixty universities in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia have established cognitive science programs, and many others have instituted courses in cognitive science. 1.

History Attempts to understand the mind and its operation go back at least to the Ancient Greeks, when philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle tried to explain the nature of human knowledge. The study of mind remained the province of philosophy until the nineteenth century, when experimental psychology developed. Wilhelm Wundt and his students initiated laboratory methods for studying mental operations more systematically. Within a few decades, however, experimental psychology became dominated by behaviorism artificial intelligence . In addition, Noam Chomsky rejected behaviorist assumptions about language as a learned habit and proposed instead to explain language comprehension in terms of mental grammars consisting of rules. The six thinkers mentioned in this paragraph can be viewed as the founders of cognitive science.

One is to use the power of computers to augment human thinking, just as we use motors to augment human or horse power. Robotics and expert systems are major branches of that. The other is to use a computer's artificial intelligence to understand how humans think. In a humanoid way. If you test your programs not merely by what they can accomplish, but how they accomplish it, then you're really doing cognitive science; you're using AI to understand the human mind." Herbert Simon : from Doug Stewart's Interview with Herbert Simon "From its inception, the cognitive revolution was guided by a metaphor: the mind is like a computer. We are a set of software programs running on 3 pounds of neural hardware. And cognitive psychologists were interested in the software. The computer metaphor helped stimulate some crucial scientific breakthroughs. It led to the birth of artificial intelligence and helped make our inner life a subject suitable for science. ... For the first time, cognitive psychologists were able to simulate aspects of human thought. At the seminal MIT symposium, held on Sept. 11, 1956, Herbert Simon and Allen Newell announced that they had invented a 'thinking machine' basically a room full of vacuum tubes capable of solving difficult logical problems.

Vision 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.

19. Cognitive Science At Northwestern The program s primary strength is in the study of higherlevel cognition. http://www.cogsci.northwestern.edu/

Cognitive Science Program Welcome to the Cognitive Science Program C ognitive Science is the scientific study of the mind and brain. It investigates mental functions in humans, animals and machines. Some of the many topics are how we learn, reason and remember, how we acquire and use language, and how cognition develops in children. Cognitive Science is inherently interdisciplinary. People who work in this field combine knowledge and expertise from multiple disciplines—computer science, psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, philosophy, anthropology, and biology, among other fields. This makes it a versatile and intellectually stimulating subject to study. N orthwestern has an outstanding Cognitive Science faculty that is highly active and visible in the field. Cognitive Science at Northwestern includes an undergraduate major and minor and a graduate specialization . To link students and faculty we feature an active program of talks, debates and workshops, as well as a number of cross-discipline research initiatives. There are competitive fellowships for graduate students in Cognitive Science and summer research fellowships for undergraduates in Cognitive Science. C ognitive Science is a relatively new discipline. Although people have pondered the nature of thought for over two thousand years, it was not until the 1950’s that the field of Cognitive Science emerged out of a combination of advances in cognitive and linguistic research, in artificial intelligence and computer science, and in the beginnings of neuroscience. Today, Cognitive Science is an exciting and interdisciplinary field, and one in which an excellent student can make an original contribution.
