Cognitive Science aims to understand how the mind works by using tools and insights from a variety of fields including experimental psychology, computer science, linguistics, vision science, philosophy, anthropology, behavioral economics, and neuroscience. This course will introduce you to many of the major tools and theories from these areas as they relate to the study of the mind. We will tour mental processes such as perception, reasoning, memory, attention, imagery, language, intelligence, decision-making, and morality, and discover many strange and amazing properties of mind.
