Toward Greater Integration: Fellows Perspectives on Cognitive Science

Top Cogn Sci. 2022 Jan;14(1):6-13. doi: 10.1111/tops.12599. Epub 2022 Jan 15.

Abstract

Cognitive science is a multidisciplinary field. Whereas debates on whether this is beneficial continue to spring up, this multidisciplinarity comes with at least one obvious challenge, namely, safeguarding an increasing integration across its subfields. The new and open-ended topic preluded here attempts to address this challenge by pursuing a multilayered agenda: to introduce the Fellows of the Cognitive Science Society and earn them the recognition and profile they deserve; to furnish a platform for reflection on cognitive science from a bird's eye view; and to present role models for younger generations. To achieve these goals, this topic provides all Fellows with an opportunity to showcase their scientific work, to outline what they consider to be its major contributions to cognitive science, and to elaborate on their visions for greater integration of the field.

Keywords: Cognitive science; Fellows of the Cognitive Science Society; Integration; Multidisciplinarity.
