Abstract

This position paper analyses the multidisciplinarity of cognitive research and its challenges from three perspective: the foundations of cognitive science, which draw from logic and neuroscience and their interconnections in studying human logic; computation as a means to identify mathematical patterns in human cognition, represent them symbolically and use such representations in computer emulations of human cognitive activities and possibly verify properties of such activities; education, devising and implementing learning models that exploit as well as address human cognition.
