Cognitive Science
 
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.

Cognitive science has emerged at the interface of several disciplines, including computer science, linguistics, neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy. 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. Major progress has been made in all of these areas by adopting a broad perspective that places them within a more general study of the mind. This includes empirical studies of the development of cognitive abilities, experimental work on how adults process language and perceive the world, attempts to infer the structure of cognitive systems from patterns of breakdown in pathology, and computational research that attempts to simulate the cognitive systems that underlie language and perception.
