Cognitive Science Topics and Concepts in Canadian Universities
What do Cognitive Science Students Learn?
Cognitive science programs are sometimes associated with educational psychology or biology departments, but more frequently they form a department of their own closely affiliated with the disciplines of linguistics, computer science, psychology and philosophy. Students learn about and research the nature of perception and memory, the function of different areas of the brain, the structure and acquisition of language, the philosophy of language and the mind, and the capacity for machines such as computers and robots to learn. Most choose to specialize in areas that mirror their own particular interests. The Canadian Undergraduate Journal of Cognitive Science is an electronic journal that will provide an overview of some of the complexities of this discipline:
