Page "Cognitive science" Paragraph 66

Cognitive science has much to its credit.

Among other accomplishments, it has given rise to models of human cognitive bias and risk perception, and has been influential in the development of behavioral finance, part of economics.

It has also given rise to a new theory of the philosophy of mathematics, and many theories of artificial intelligence, persuasion and coercion.

It has made its presence firmly known in the philosophy of language and epistemology-a modern revival of rationalism-as well as constituting a substantial wing of modern linguistics.

Fields of cognitive science have been influential in understanding the brain's particular functional systems ( and functional deficits ) ranging from speech production to auditory processing and visual perception.

It has made progress in understanding how damage to particular areas of the brain affect cognition, and it has helped to uncover the root causes and results of specific dysfunction, such as dyslexia, anopia, and hemispatial neglect.
