1.00 Credits
A review of research on how people make moral judgments. We will discuss and attempt to integrate diverse perspectives and research on cognition, action, and emotion from cognitive science, cognitive neuroscience, and philosophy.
-
0.00 - 1.00 Credits
Presents the experimental way of thinking by pursuing several topics in an interactive computer-based laboratory. Students run experiments as a class and, by the end of the course, run their own experiment. Focus is on experimental design, procedure, analysis, and reporting. Topics include attention, visual imagery, memory, and reasoning. Prerequisite: CLPS 0900 (COGS/PSYC 0090), and either CLPS 0200 (COGS 0420) or CLPS 0500 (COGS 0440); or permission of the instructor.
-
1.00 Credits
A detailed introduction to computational modeling of cognition, summarizing traditional approaches and providing experience with state-of-the-art methods. Covers pattern recognition approaches, shallow and hierarchical networks including Bayesian probabilistic models, and illustrates how they have been applied in several key areas in cognitive science, including visual perception and attention, object and face recognition, learning and memory as well as decision-making and reasoning. Focuses on modeling simple laboratory tasks from cognitive psychology. Connections to contemporary research in computer science will be emphasized highlighting how computational models may motivate the development of new hypothesis for experiment design in cognitive psychology.
-
1.00 Credits
Examines some of the classic and current issues regarding sound structure in the world's languages and introduces the theoretical tools needed to solve them. After a brief introduction to articulatory phonetics and phonemic analysis, it focuses on phonological analysis of different languages, discussing segmental phonology, syllable structure, autosegmental representations, stress systems, and prosodic word structure. Implications for language learning and language change are discussed. Prerequisite: CLPS 0030 (COGS 0410).
-
0.00 - 1.00 Credits
An introduction to the basis of the acoustic analysis of speech, the anatomy and physiology of speech production, and the perception of speech. Discussion and demonstration of quantitative computer-implemented methods for speech analysis. Linguistic and cognitive theories are discussed in relation to the probable neural mechanisms and anatomy that make human speech possible. Lectures, discussion, and laboratory demonstrations.
-
1.00 Credits
An in-depth investigation of natural language syntax, an intricate yet highly organized human cognitive system. Focuses primarily on the syntax of English as a means of illustrating the structured nature of a grammatical system, but the broader question at issue is the nature of the rule system in natural language syntax. Prerequisite: CLPS 0030 (COGS 0410).
-
1.00 Credits
An introduction to a variety of issues in linguistic semantics and in the related philosophical literature. Topics include: the nature of semantic representations; the relationship between meaning and the world; truth-conditional and "logical" semantics; word-meaning; the interaction of semantics and pragmatics; presupposition; the interaction of semantics with syntax.
-
1.00 Credits
The representation of word meaning and generalizations about the way in which meanings are packaged into words. Topics include: "fuzzy" meanings, natural kind terms, how word meanings are decomposed. Special emphasis on how temporal properties are encoded, on the status of "thematic relations," and on how the fine-grained structure of word meanings impacts on the syntax. Recommended prerequisite: CLPS 0030 (COGS 0410).
-
1.00 Credits
Model-theoretic approaches to the study of the semantics of natural languages. Develops the tools necessary for an understanding of "classical" formal semantics (the lambda calculus, intensional logic; Montague's treatment of quantification, etc.); then applies these tools to the analysis of natural language semantics; and finally turns to recent developments in formal semantic theory. Prerequisite: some familiarity with syntax or semantics or basic set theory and logic.
