Historically, study in Cognitive Science has been conducted within each of these traditional disciplines and this approach still represents important areas of research (for example, cognitive psychology, part of the discipline of psychology, or artificial\u00a0intelligence, part of the discipline of computer science). <\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"cu-column-content\">\n    \n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"867\" height=\"1351\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2026\/06\/Mark-Chairs-message.jpg\" alt=\"Mark is a middle-aged white man in glasses, with a beard, in a blue shirt\" class=\"wp-image-17478\" style=\"width:300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2026\/06\/Mark-Chairs-message.jpg 867w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2026\/06\/Mark-Chairs-message-512x798.jpg 512w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2026\/06\/Mark-Chairs-message-320x499.jpg 320w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2026\/06\/Mark-Chairs-message-768x1197.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 867px) 100vw, 867px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, many researchers, practitioners, and students are feeling a need for an approach to understanding the mind that integrates basic knowledge in the foundational disciplines and prepares them to work across multiple academic fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This website contains information about our programs, current students, staff and faculty, as well as news and information about upcoming&nbsp;departmental events.&nbsp; Please feel free to contact us for additional information or if you have any questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mark MacLeod, PhD, Associate Professor (teaching stream)<br>Chair<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>However, many researchers, practitioners, and students are feeling a need for an approach to understanding the mind that integrates basic knowledge in the foundational disciplines and prepares them to work across multiple academic fields.
