Our M.A. is a flexible program of study that provides training in linguistics and/or cognitive science. Students may propose a customized program of advanced study that combines elements from either ...

Forget the hype about AI "solving" human cognition, new research suggests unified models like Centaur are just overfitted "black boxes" that fail to understand basic instructions.

The multi-level testing framework is designed across spatial relations, spatial scenes, and prompt engineering strategies, with standardized scripts ensuring normalization. Recently, the Journal of ...

Can an AI truly think like a human? A model named Centaur, which can mimic human performance on 160 cognitive tasks, is now under scrutiny. Recent research suggests it may not genuinely understand the ...

"Cognitive science called to me because it took every academic interest and showed me a real-life application," said one UB student. "It's a means of not just studying people, but making a difference ...

The human brain is constantly adapting. Every skill learned and every habit formed reshapes neural pathways, strengthening connections and improving efficiency. This process, known as neuroplasticity, ...

Modern classrooms are filled with the language of cognitive science. We talk about student engagement, working memory, attention, mindset, and cognitive load as if we can observe these things directly ...

Just as pathogens can infect bodies, spread to other bodies and make us sick, bad ideas can infect our minds, spread to other minds and disrupt our thinking. Minds can fall prey to infectious and ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered a natural mechanism that clears existing amyloid plaques in the brains of mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease and preserves cognitive function ...
