SYMSYS 1: Minds and Machines (CS 24, LINGUIST 35, PHIL 99, PSYCH 35, SYMSYS 200)

(Formerly SYMSYS 100). An overview of the interdisciplinary study of cognition, information, communication, and language, with an emphasis on foundational issues: What are minds? What is computation? What are rationality and intelligence? Can we predict human behavior? Can computers be truly intelligent? How do people and technology interact, and how might they do so in the future? Lectures focus on how the methods of philosophy, mathematics, empirical research, and computational modeling are used to study minds and machines. Students must take this course before being approved to declare Symbolic Systems as a major. All students interested in studying Symbolic Systems are urged to take this course early in their student careers. The course material and presentation will be at an introductory level, without prerequisites. If you have any questions about the course, please email symsys1staff@gmail.com.

SYMSYS 197: Practicum in Teaching SymSys 1

The purpose of this practicum course is to prepare students to lead discussion sections of Minds and Machines ( SYMSYS 1 / CS 22 / LINGUIST 35 / PHIL 99 / PSYCH 35). The course will provide pedagogical training in the context of introductory cognitive science. Students will learn how to: implement strategies for effective discussion and engaging learning activities in section; effectively support students in 1:1 and small group learning; and consider a variety of strategies for student assessment.

SYMSYS 203: Cognitive Science Perspectives on Humanity and Well-Being

Interdisciplinary readings that address fundamental questions about human decision making, morality, behavior, and welfare. In this advanced small seminar, we will read and discuss works by psychologists, neuroscientists, philosophers, and others, which focus on a common theme. The topic for 2023-24 is the philosophy and science of free will and determinism. Prerequisite: Completion of a course in behavioral science or neuroscience beyond the level of PSYCH 1.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3
Instructors: Davies, T. (PI)

SYMSYS 205: The Philosophy and Science of Perception

Our senses tell us about our immediate environment, but what exactly do they tell us? Our color experiences tell us that the things around us have color properties, but what in the world are color properties? Do we visually represent absolute size as well as relative size? When we see an apple, do we literally see it as an apple, or do we infer that it¿s an apple based on its color and shape? Can what we expect to see affect what we actually see? In this seminar we will bring both philosophical and empirical perspectives to bear on these and other issues related to figuring out just how our perceptual experiences represent the world as being. Prerequisite: PHIL 80 or permission of the instructor.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3
Instructors: ORourke, J. (PI)

SYMSYS 245: Cognition in Interaction Design

This seminar offers an in-depth exploration of interactive systems through the lens of human cognition. Topics covered include: reasoning and problem-solving, skill acquisition and complex learning, language, attention and perception, interaction with intelligent and adaptive systems, and design considerations for users with special needs, such as cognitive disabilities. Students will learn advanced interaction analysis methods applicable in UX analysis and cognitive research. A useful (not required) prerequisite is a course in cognitive psychology or cognitive anthropology. As this is the last time this course will be offered, enrollment is limited to advanced Symbolic Systems students who need the course to graduate. Contact the instructor (via email) to obtain an axess key.
