Cognitive Science

Collection Statement

The cognitive science collection focuses on the three main areas of study of the Department of Cognitive Science: "the brain -- the understanding of neurobiological processes and phenomena; behavior -- the experimental methods and findings from the study of psychology, language, and the sociocultural environment; and computation -- the powers and limits of various representations, coupled with studies of computational mechanisms."
