Cognitive Science employs scientific approaches like experiments, computational models, and neuroimaging to investigate mental functions including perception, movement, memory, thinking, communication, and language development. Learners need to gain expertise in four core domains: perception, thought processes, language, and cognitive neuroscience, along with research methodologies specific to Cognitive Science. They subsequently design personalized study concentrations, possibly combining courses from Cognitive, Linguistic, and Psychological Sciences with interdisciplinary subjects such as Anthropology, Applied Mathematics, Education, Neuroscience, and Philosophy. The A.B. curriculum mainly caters to those fascinated by human cognition and developing a research-focused understanding of mental phenomena.
