| 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.
