Cognitive Science is the interdisciplinary study of intelligent behaviour in humans, animals, and machines. It encompasses the traditional disciplines of Computer Science, Linguistics, Neuroscience, Philosophy and Psychology. By taking a computational view of the mind, Cognitive Science seeks to establish a mechanistic understanding of the mental processes underpinning intelligent behaviour, inform our understanding of our mind, and guide the design and development of intelligent systems.
