Graduate Program: Cognitive Research Interest Group
The Cognition Research Interest Group seeks an understanding of such basic
mental activities as perceiving, attending, remembering, learning, judging,
verbalizing, and imagining. It stresses experimentation, not least because
it necessitates explicit definitions of concepts and hypotheses.
