Concepts in cognitive science

Cognitive science studies how the brain processes information, including thinking, learning, memory, language, perception, and decision-making. It explores how we acquire knowledge, solve problems, and understand the world around us. Combining insights from psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, computer science, and philosophy, it seeks to understand the mind's functions and develop models of mental processes. Ultimately, cognitive science aims to explain how mental activities arise from brain activity, helping improve education, artificial intelligence, mental health, and our understanding of human nature.
