职业规划

认知科学家试图理解和解释人类思维的内部运作,其智能功能,行为机制和神经生物学组织负责策划和执行大脑的心理活动。一个相对较新的领域,1950年代中期出现了认知科学研究人员从不同的学科应用不同的方法和方法的思想在他们的研究和情报引入初始知识理论关于认知能力。在70年代中期,认知科学学会成立和《认知科学》杂志上。自那时以来,认知科学已经发展成为一个主流学科跨度和桥梁组成的不同研究领域的心理学、哲学、人工智能、神经科学、语言学和人类学。认知理论家认为,心理表征的思想几乎是类似于计算机数据结构和心理活动相媲美的计算程序。认为人类思维是最好理解的表示和计算作为探索智能系统的一个共同点,都固有的和人工。认知科学的研究主要集中在三个关键领域:大脑的神经生物学过程相关的认知现象,比如语言识别、知识获取、信息处理、等;行为-认知活动和响应与人类交流普遍真理,社会文化互动,刺激,和发展模式;计算,计算系统的框架模拟人类感知的功能方面,认知和神经过程。虽然每个学科利用自己的方法,因为它从不同的角度解决手头的问题,跨学科融合基于一个共同的目标和共同利益导致了一个统一的方法和富有成效的合作。 While cognitive psychologists are frequently involved in theorizing and computational modeling, the greater part of their time is devoted to conducting experiments with human participants under controlled conditions. They gather empirical evidence by examining mental activities transpiring in their study subjects to determine how people form certain views and ideas, how fast they process mental images, or the effectiveness with which humans solve problems applying analogies. The role of AI (Artificial Intelligence) experts revolve around developing and testing mathematical and computational models simulating recognized patterns and elements of human cognitive experiences. Neuroscientists target brain-behavior relationships by studying the neurological anatomy, physiological processes, molecular mechanisms, and neural activity in human brain, its specific regions that mediate various mental tasks like word and mental imagery interpretation. Neuroscientists incorporate clinical, theoretical, and experimental techniques and data in their analyses of neural sources of higher cognitive functions which include perception, learning and memory, problem solving, and reasoning. Since language is the main portal of communication between humans and the means by which they articulate ideas, express feelings, and exchange information, linguists provide important answers to questions related to human intelligence and the extent to which the nature of language is affected by cognitive properties of the mind and brain. Linguists supply theoretical and experimental data obtained through analyses of grammatical rules that form the fundamental structure of languages, semantic systems and networks as well as the role of communication, all from the standpoint of mental processes involved in language production, comprehension, acquisition, and cognition. The link between cultural environment and intellectual development has long been a subject of discussion and interest. Cognitive anthropologists help expand our understanding of human thinking and forms of interaction, especially in connection with language use, by shedding light on intellectual, rational, and emotional attributes of various cultural environments that underlie and motivate human behavior. Anthropologists conduct field studies, which often entail living in indigenous ethnic settings for extended periods of time, to assure accurate collection and interpretation of data. Philosophers, whose main concern is ideas and their structures with regard to abstract and real phenomena, logic, as well as the mind and body connection, contribute on multiple levels into the unraveling of the mystery of human mind and conscious experience.
