COGNITION, LOGIC AND LANGUAGE

Cognition refers to the process of thinking. It is a major topic in psychology, but it is closely allied with several other fields including the physiology of the brain, the acquisition and use of natural languages, the structure of the formal languages used in mathematical logic and computer science, and the philosophy of knowledge and mind. The program in cognition, logic and language allows a student to pursue the multiple aspects of this highly interdisciplinary subject.

The cognition, logic and language program offers an interdisciplinary minor.
