Cognitive scientists seek to understand perceiving, thinking, remembering, understanding language, learning and other mental processes and phenomena involving awareness and cognition. Cognitive Science is an interdisciplinary science involving psychology, computer science, neuroscience, philosophy and linguistics.
Psychology is concerned with general human capacities, such as attention and memory.
Computer science is concerned with the possibilities of artificial intelligence and the use of computational processes for understanding cognitive processes. Neuroscience is concerned with the organization and processes of the nervous system, including brain-based processes. Linguistics is concerned with the structure of human language and the nature of language acquisition. At a more general level, Cognitive Science can be described as being concerned with the nature of mind and its components, sources, development and use.
