Cognitive science is the result of interdisciplinary efforts between psychology, neuroscience, computer science/artificial intelligence, linguistics and philosophy, but also anthropology and sociology. Its central subject is conscious and unconscious experience, which is often located between the sensory and motor systems, as well as the processing of information in the context of human thought and decision-making. This includes, for example, perception, thinking, judgement, memory, learning and language. Its subject area is not limited to cognition, but just as much encompasses emotion, motivation and volition.[1]
Cognitive science partly abstracts from the question of whether cognition is studied in organic systems or living beings, or in artificial systems such as computers or robots, by considering cognitive processes as information processing.
