Abstract

Number 30 of the Sophia Journal: Philosophy of Education Collection, reflects on the philosophy of cognitive sciences and its links with education.
As a general rule, most researchers like Medina (2008) agree in calling cognitive science the scientific study of the mind and its processes; it is an interdisciplinary field that examines the nature, tasks and functions of cognition in a broad sense. According to Medina (2008), "cognitive science conceives that human knowledge is a system that is always collecting, storing, retrieving, transforming, transmitting and acting on information" (p. 188). This is how cognitive scientists try to study intelligence and behavior, focusing on the way in which nervous systems represent, process and transform information.
