PSY 416 - Cognitive Science
4 credit(s)
Cognitive scientists seek answers to questions about the nature of mind by integrating different methods of inquiry. Doing so helps them arrive at a richer, more inclusive understanding than what can be achieved within a single discipline. Cognitive Scientists have a “home” discipline in fields like Cognitive Psychology, Philosophy, Neuroscience, Linguistics, or Computer Science (to name the dominant perspectives). However, their work is guided by an understanding of the intersections among these areas of inquiry. The point of intersection (and overlap) among disciplines is where the “truth” about big picture-issues like thinking, reasoning, intelligence, and consciousness resides. Cognitive scientists seek to uncover these truths by challenging unitary disciplinary explanations.
Prerequisite(s): Junior standing or above (60 or more completed); and PSY 150 with a minimum grade of C.
