This course is the required cognitive science introductory course: it

ideas from cognitive psychology, philosophy, education, and
linguistics. The course will explore the "computational metaphor of
mind"--the central motivating idea of cognitive science--along with a
variety of challenges to that metaphor. Topics will include philosophy
of mind; learning and connectionism; categorization; vision and mental
imagery; consciousness; problem-solving; decision-making; language
processing; and game theoretic models.


Prerequisites: Graduate standing, or at least one course at the
3000-level or higher in computer science, linguistics, philosophy or
psychology. No background in computer science will be presumed.

far as we know, this is still the case, but we haven't heard
"officially" whether this is true. For more information on these
