  1. Cognitive Science 001How do minds work? CSE 140, Linguistics 105, Philosophy 044, Psychology 107

  2. How do minds work? • What would an answer to this question look like? • What is a mind?

  3. How do minds work? • What is intelligence? • How do brains work? • Neurons • Brain structure • Theory of computation • Probabilistic models of mind • Logic-based models of mind

  4. How do minds work? • Perception and action • Learning and memory • Mind, language and computation • Emotion • Social cognition • Analogy and metaphor

  10. Levels of analysis (Marr): • Three kinds of questions • computation • what is the problem? • algorithm • what are the methods? • implementation • what are the mechanisms?

  11. Ways of thinking about reasoning • logical vs. probabilitistic • sequential vs. parallel/distributed • exact vs. heuristic/approximate • literal vs. metaphorical

  12. Ways of thinking about learning • Who learns? • brain vs. genome • individual vs. group • What is learned? • facts vs. skills vs. rules vs. .. •  information vs. physiology • Where does knowledge come from? • experience vs. reason vs. analogy vs. chance • How does learning work?
