Cognitive science is a multidisciplinary field that involves the study of mental processes such as perception, memory, language, reasoning, emotion, and consciousness. Researchers in cognitive science draw on insights from psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, philosophy, computer science, and other disciplines to understand how the mind works. The goal of cognitive science is to develop theories and models that explain human thought and behavior, as well as to create technologies that simulate or enhance cognitive processes. This research area has applications in fields such as artificial intelligence, education, and healthcare.
