Cognitive science is the scientific study either of mind or of intelligence (e.g. Luger 1994).Practically every formal introduction to cognitive science stresses that it is a highly interdisciplinary research area in which psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, philosophy, computer science (in particular artificial intelligence), anthropology, and biology are its principal specialized or applied branches.Therefore, we may distinguish cognitive studies of either human or animal brains, the mind and the brain.
