Cognitive Science at the University of Connecticut
Cognitive science is the study of how intelligent beings (including people, non-human animals, and machines) perceive, act, know, and think. It explores the process and content of thought as observed in individuals, distributed through communities, manifested in the structure and meaning of language, modeled by algorithms, and contemplated by philosophies of mind. Its models are formulated using concepts drawn from many disciplines, including psychology, linguistics, logic, computer science, anthropology, and philosophy, and they are tested using evidence from psychological experiments, clinical studies, field studies, computer simulations, and neurophysiological observation.
The specific purpose of this page is to post information that is relevant to undergraduate COGS majors and minors at UConn.
