Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary study of the cognitive processes underlying the acquisition and use of knowledge. It draws from converging evidence and methodology of diverse fields, including psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, computer science, anthropology and linguistics. The term cognitive science was coined by Christopher Longuet-Higgins in his 1973 commentary on the Lighthill report, which concerned the then-current state of Artificial Intelligence research. In the same decade, the journal Cognitive Science and the Cognitive Science Society began.
