This course is a seminar for any student who is pursuing, or plans to purse, a Division II concentration in Cognitive Science. The course examines different theories of mind and their methodological and conceptual implications. We will look at computer minds and animal minds, along with adult and child human minds, with the aim of pulling out questions and ideas that unite and drive the cognitive sciences. This is a writing intensive course and students will pursue independent projects.
