LING 1170
Introduction to Cognitive Science

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2018-2019.

This course provides an introduction to the science of the mind.  Everyone knows what it's like to think and perceive, but this subjective experience provides little insight into how minds emerge from physical intities like brains.  To address this issue, cognitive science integrates work from at least five disciplines: Psychology, Neuroscience, Computer Science, Linguistics, and Philosophy.  This course introduces students to the insights these disciplines offer into the workings of the mind by exploring visual perception, attention, memory, learning, problem solving, language, and consciousness. 

When Offered Spring, Summer (six-week session).

Distribution Category (KCM-AS)

Comments A 1 credit Writing in the Majors sections is available, LING 1104.
