Cognitive Science

This document outlines a cognitive science course that covers 5 units over 45 periods: the units examine the philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience of cognition; computational intelligence and artificial intelligence; probabilistic programming languages; inference models of cognition; and learning models of cognition. The course objectives are to understand the theoretical background of cognition and the link between cognition and computational intelligence, explore probabilistic programming, and study computational inference and learning models of cognition. Upon completing the course, students will be able to understand cognition theory, connect cognition elements computationally, implement mathematical functions using probabilistic programming, and develop applications using cognitive inference and learning models.
