Document Summary

Interdisciplinary scientific study of the mind and its processes, embracing philosophy, psychology, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, linguistics. Study the draws on many fields (psychology, artificial intelligence, linguistics, and philosophy) in developing theories about human perception, thinking, and learning. Conceiving the mind as an abstract computing device instantiated in the brain, cognitive scientists endeavour to understand the mental computations underlying cognitive functioning and how these computations are implemented by neural tissue. Cognitive science believes that individuals have mental ascriptions (mental states) that can be scientifically studied. Thinking corresponds to the manipulation and processing of representation (information processing) Study of thought, the brain, behaviours, etc: the blade runner. How robots think like humans (cognitive processes) A blade runner was using a series of questions to determine if a suspect was truly human. Using voight-kampff machine: the imitation game. How computers can solve problems using human cognitive processes or something similar.
