Abstract:

After emerging as an autonomous discipline in the late 1970s,
cognitive science has since become a prominent interdisciplinary,
scientific discipline for studying the mind and its processes,
integrating research and theories from diverse fields such as
linguistics, psychology, artificial intelligence, philosophy,
neuroscience, and anthropology. In the current and ever-evolving age
of AI, however, cognitive science has been fine-tuning its own
methodological purview more and more on ideas coming out of computer
modeling and machine learning systems development.
As such, its scope has embraced AI research increasingly as the
organizing center for gaining an understanding of how the human brain
functions to produce language, visual perception, reasoning,
decision-making, and so on. This book constitutes an introduction to
the contemporary practices and ideas in cognitive science in the AI
age. It is both descriptive and, at times, critical, examining the
emerging approaches and theories within cognitive science as
themselves too dependent upon AI research itself.
