Cognitive science is the study of intelligence in humans, other animals, and in artificial systems. It includes the study of representations and processes involved in the acquisition, development, storage and use of information in areas such as language, perception, learning, memory, decision making, attention, knowledge, reasoning, consciousness, and the control of action. Traditional disciplines
that bear on the interests of cognitive scientists include linguistics, psychology, philosophy, computer science, neuroscience, anthropology, biology and physics. Founding members:
