Mål og innhald
The purpose of this course is to give students at the bachelor's program in cognitive science an understanding of the field of cognitive science with an interdisciplinary perspective. The course takes up models of cognition that have been developed based on empirical studies of human and artificial intelligence. We will look at models of knowledge representation, reasoning, learning, comprehension and use of natural language, perception, and consciousness as they relate to thinking. Furthermore, we look at how cognitive science has its roots in various subjects such as computer science, information science, linguistics, psychology and philosophy. We will explore their common assumptions and how the connections between the subjects are established by cognitive science as an interdisciplinary research area.
