UCSB INT200A: Introduction to Cognitive Science – Spring 2022
This course, newly upgraded to 4-units, offers an overview of Cognitive Science as an interdisciplinary field that emerged at the intersection of a number of existing disciplines, including psychology, linguistics, computer science, philosophy, anthropology and neuroscience, and is now expanding more widely into the social sciences and humanities. Since the field was founded on the principle that new knowledge should be developed at the intersection among disciplines, many of the class sessions will involve discussions with researchers from UCSB who are investigating an aspect of cognition from different disciplinary perspectives.
