After graduating from Princeton University with a PhD in linguistics, she became a part of the Cognitive Science department under George Armitage Miller and has played an active role in the development of WordNet, a well-known lexical database that is motivated by cognitive science but has also served as an important resource in computational natural language processing applications.
Edward Colin Cherry (1914–1979) was a British cognitive scientist whose main contributions were in focused auditory attention, specifically the cocktail party problem regarding the capacity to follow one conversation while many other conversations are going on in a noisy room.
Cornelius has a master's degree in philosophie/lettres modernes from University of Paris IV: Paris-Sorbonne and a master's degree in the philosophy of cognitive science with a minor in aesthetics from the University of Sussex.
Daniel James Simons (born 1969) is a prominent experimental psychologist, cognitive scientist, and Professor in the Department of Psychology and the Beckman Institute at the University of Illinois.
This notion of perception as abduction has received periodic revivals in artificial intelligence and cognitive science research, most recently for instance with the work of Irvin Rock on indirect perception.
The theory has been formulated mainly by the French social and cognitive scientist Dan Sperber for the study of society and culture, by taking into account evidence from anthropology and cognitive science.
In a different, naturalist, approach some English speaking philosophers close to cognitive science have made metaphor the central aspect of human rationality, such as Lakoff.
He has published work on catastrophic forgetting in neural networks, the Turing test and foundations of cognitive science, the evolution of sex, and categorization and learning in infants, among other topics.
Before entering the software industry, he served as a university faculty in several departments of mathematics, computer science and cognitive science, including the University of Nevada, City University of New York, the University of Waikato, and the University of Western Australia.
The report contains descriptions and commentaries on the state of the science and technology of the combined fields of nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology and cognitive science (NBIC) by major contributors to these fields.
Dynamicism, the application of dynamical systems theory to cognitive science
Her book Homer and the Resources of Memory (2001) draws on several forms of narratology and cognitive science, such as the script theory developed in the 1970s by Roger Schank and Robert Abelson.

He also played an indirect but potentially important part in establishing contemporary generative linguistics and cognitive science—Noam Chomsky has credited Levi Della Vida with helping to stimulate his early interest in linguistics as an undergraduate, describing his course as 'the one freshman course that I found really engaging'.
Miller was a coordinator of the Cognitive Science Research Group at the University of Pennsylvania from 1985 to 1986; he later on joined the faculty of Yeshiva University in 1993, and also taught at Stanford University, Brandeis University and the MIT.
Then he worked as a Professor at the Department of Psychology and at the Graduate Program for Cognitive Science of Sungkyunkwan University, Seoul, Korea.
In 1995, he founded the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program for Cognitive Science at Sungkyunkwan University.
His interdisciplinary skills have earned him prestigious academic roles in multiple fields, including appointments in Computer Science at University College Cork, Theoretical Neurobiology at Caltech, and Cognitive Science at Rensselaer.
Major themes include: self-reference in memes, language, art and logic; discussions of philosophical issues important in cognitive science/AI; analogies and what makes something similar to something else (specifically what makes, for example, an uppercase letter 'A' recognisable as such); and lengthy discussions of the work of Robert Axelrod on the prisoner's dilemma and the idea of superrationality.
The notion that beliefs, attitudes, and ideology were deeply connected knowledge structures was contained in Scripts, Plans, Goals, and Understanding (1977, with Roger Schank), a work that has collected several thousand citations, and led to the first interdisciplinary graduate program in cognitive science at Yale.
Other related terms in philosophy and in cognitive science include "ontological relativity" (as in Quine) and "cognitive relativism" (as in Jack Meiland).
