Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary study of mind and intelligence, drawing on fields like psychology, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, linguistics, and philosophy. It aims to understand how cognition, such as perception, learning, reasoning, and attention, emerges from the brain. The term "cognitive science" was coined in 1973 and its origins lie in the mid-1950s when researchers from multiple fields began developing computational models of the mind. It studies thought, learning, and mental organization using aspects of psychology, linguistics, philosophy, and computer modeling.
