Cognitive Science
	Philosophy, Linguistics, and Experimental Psychology

Cognitive Science pursues a scientific understanding of the mind through all available methodologies, notably those of anthropology, artificial intelligence, computer science, education, linguistics, logic, neuroscience, philosophy and psychology, in whatever combinations are most appropriate to the topic at hand. --Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society
