COGS 45 Computational Cognitive Science

Human cognition is characterized by remarkable intellectual feats, but also frustrating failures. What general principles determine what minds can and can’t achieve? In this course, we treat cognition as computation and construct artificial systems to model cognitive strengths and weaknesses. Part of each class will be spent in lecture and part will be spent working directly with computational models in active learning exercises that use neural networks for hands-on exploration.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
