Welcome to the Cognitive Science Program at the University of Connecticut

Cognitive science is the study of how intelligent beings (including people, animals, and machines) perceive, act, know, and think. It explores the process and content of thought as observed in individuals, distributed through communities, manifested in the structure and meaning of language, modeled by algorithms, and contemplated by philosophies of mind. Its models are formulated using concepts drawn from many disciplines, including psychology, linguistics, logic, computer science, anthropology, and philosophy, and they are tested using evidence from psychological experiments, clinical studies, field studies, computer simulations, and neurophysiological observation.

UConn Cognitive Science Listserv


List name: COGSCI-DL (Cognitive science “Distribution List”)

Web address: listserv.uconn.edu/cogsci-dl.html

Purpose: This list is for announcements of events of broad interest to the community (like the Cognitive Science Colloquia). It includes undergraduates, graduate students, post-docs, faculty and other interested people (i.e. the whole community). It gets a small to medium amount of traffic.


List name: COGSCI-RL (Cognitive science “Research List”)

Web address: listserv.uconn.edu/cogsci-rl.html

Purpose: This list supports collaborative interaction on substantive issues in the field. Its main purpose so far has been to carry the synopses of the Cognitive Science Reading Group meetings that occurred this summer. It may get a lot of traffic at times.


List name: COGSCI-FL (Cognitive science “Faculty List”)

Web address: listserv.uconn.edu/cogsci-fl.html

Purpose: This list includes all the faculty affiliated with the Cognitive Science Program and will be used in the future mainly for communications that specifically concern the faculty (e.g. advising info, consulting on decisions to be made by the faculty as a group). It doesn’t get much traffic.
