Inter-disciplinary field that Studies the mind, intelligence and behavior from an information processing perspective
End-user is the focus- clinician
It is the study of the mind and how information is processed in the mind
A component of cognitive science that uses computer modeling through artificial neural networks to try to explain human intellectual abilities
· Neural networks – interconnected simple processing devices or models of the brain and nervous system made up of a number of elements or units linked together in a pattern of connections
o 3 Types of units
§ (1) Input Units ~ sensory neurons: receive information to be processed
§ (2) Hidden Units ~ other neurons not sensory or motor: work in between input and
output units
§ (3) Output Units~ motor neurons: where the outcomes/results of the processing are found
Neural networks – input units
Sensory neurons – receive information to be processed
Neural networks – hidden units
Hidden Units ~ other neurons not sensory or motor: work in between input and output units
Neural networks – output units
Output Units~ motor neurons: where the outcomes/results of the processing are found
Decision making
Knowledge derived from experiences or senses
Knowledge derived from reason alone and that reason plays a role in the acquisition of all of our knowledge
1. Instinct
2. Reason
3. Intuition
A way of acquiring knowledge that cannot be obtained by inference, deduction, observation, reason, analysis or experience
Perception – process of acquiring knowledge about the environment or situation by obtaining, interpreting, selecting and organizing sensory information from seeing, hearing, touching, tasting and smelling<br/>
Logic -- a science that deals with the principles and criteria of validity of inference and demonstration….the science of the formal principles of reasoning
A system of thinking that uses principles of inference and reasoned ideas to govern action
The study of the nature and origin of knowledge
What it means to know
The awareness and understanding of a set of information and ways that information can be made useful to support a specific task or arrive at a decision
Is made up of others thoughts and information or is information that is made so that relationships are identified and formalized
· Knowledge applied in a practical way or translated into actions
· The use of knowledge and experience to heighten common sense and insight to exercise sound judgment in practical matters
· The ability to apply valuable and viable knowledge, experience, understanding and insight while being prudent and sensible
· Knowing when an
d how to apply knowledge: CI is an emerging transdisciplinary field that tries to bridge the gap of understanding how information is processed in the mind and in the computer
· CI helps explore scientifically how info is acquired, represented, remembered, retrieved, generated and communicated
Made up of the disciplines of neuroscience, linguistics, artificial intelligence and psychology
AI – deals with the conception, development
and implementation of informatics tools based on intelligent technologies
· Tries to capture the complex processes of human thought and intelligence
2 Functions:
1. Use the power of computers to augment human thinking
2. Use a computers AI to understand how humans think
