Cognitive science is an interdisciplinary field that studies the mind and its processes, including how people think, learn, and remember. It combines insights from various disciplines such as psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, philosophy, and computer science to understand how the brain functions and how it influences behavior. Researchers in cognitive science explore topics like perception, language, problem-solving, and decision-making. By examining these areas, they aim to uncover the underlying mechanisms of cognition and develop theories that explain how humans and other intelligent systems process information.
