PROPOSAL FOR CHANGES TO THECOGNITIVE SCIENCE

UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMME-

Submitted by the Cognitive Science

Undergraduate Programmme Steering

Committee-

CURRICULUM CHANGE: COGNITIVE SCIENCE

Motivation for chang

(1)

As can

be seen from the history of the

PLP PROGRAMME -

recently retitled and reorganised as COGNITIVE SCIENCE - the

number of required courses, both LI) and UD, is too large to

attract any but the most undaunted students. As it stands, the

programme certainly makes choice of entry an early-decision

matter. In fact, the decision is required much too early. Thus,

it is, in practice, not an attractive notion for students who have

completed their first year, and certainly not for those who have

completed their first 60 hours, unless they happen to have

chosen to do courses that, by accident, fit very extensively into

the CS programme. We wish to make changes that emphasise

the ease

of ontry

rather than, as we have done in the past,

tte ease

of opting oui

(2)

The selection of courses at the Lower and the Upper Levels

inherently involves a diffuseness which increases

proportionally with the number of courses. This does not make

for academic /intellectual cohesiveness which is a

SJ!i

qua .con

if we wish to establish CS as a discipline in its own right. The

present format is, in the final analysis, no more than a selection

of course numbers/names rather than of guaranteed content

and coherent content relationships. We have no control

whatsoever over this feature, given the sources of our courses,

and there is no real reason why we should. An amout of

variation in the content of courses across offerings reflects the

collective philosophy of a department as represented by its

individual faculty members, a situation that is a healthy and

necessary one within the Departmental structure of the

Faculty /University. Thus, the best situation for CS - in order to

handle this variation in the most advantageous manner - is to

establish a minimum set of integrative CS courses. The further

advantages for involved faculty from such courses are clear.

In this proposal, there will be a curricularly and programmatically

logical"trimming down of the number of courses required for the

undergraduate CS degrees, and a proposal for four new CS(COGS) courses -

one 200-level(to be taken at or near the completion of the LD and

•

intermediate' courses), one 400-level(to be taken at or near the completion

of the UD requirements), and two Honours Project courses:

NEW COURSE PROPOSALS

COGS 200 Basic Cognitive Science.

Course Description:

The course is designed to provide students who have completed at least the

BASIC requirements of the Cognitive Sciences Major Programme with an

overview of the contents and general implications of the lower-level Cog. Sci

- - programmeiireihexith that are drawn from the Psychology, Linguistics,

Compt. Science and Philosophy curricula. Its emphasis will be on the

integration of the various components, on comparing and contrasting the

approaches represented in and by each of the disciplines.

COGS 400 Advanced Cognitive Science.

Course Description:

This course continues at a more advanced level the theme and purpose of

COGS 200.

pecific Assumptions.Justification.. etc:

I. ?

All

students must be familiar with the fundamentals of

each subject adopted into the programme,

viz,

at the moment,

Psychology, Linguistics, Philosophy and Comp. Science.

II..

The CS programme, in order to be an attractive alternative to

• ?

students while, at the same time, being a solid degree

programme, must not deviate wildly from other degree

programmes in its requirements. It must not be perceived to

too heavy or "too demanding" or "too locked-in". There

is neither intellectual nor practical-curricular merit in the

establishment of a programme that is 'heavy" or "challenging"

for its own sake. It must, in the final analysis, be able to prove

itself curricularly, i.e. quantitatively, something which PLP

failed to do, very largely for the reasons discussed in this

section. We do not feel that the CS programme in its present

format will prove any more successful. The proposal here

tries to make entry into the programme a natural, even

comfortable" thing to do.

III ?

The CS programme must have an integration component

to provide the students enrolled with a formal means of

linking the courses together in a meaningful manner and of

getting to know their fellow CS students. This is also important

for the faculty involved, for intellectual as well as

for curricular reasons. The

PLP

programme failed in its

commitment to do this. CS must fulfil this need and can do so

only within the formal framework of a set of courses.

Furthermore, these courses will not only serve an integrative-

intellectual function but will figure as a measure and a control

of the success of the programme in that they will be subject to

the criteria of viability of offering administered by the Dean of

Arts Office.

IV.. ?

We have chosen to deemptiasise the specific-subject

Minor/Major

and

Concentration

possibilities of the CS

programme. A primary purpose of reorganising the

undergraduate programme is to emplasise the independence

and the valid programme/discipline status of

CS.

This is

consistent with the principle of deemphasising the ease of et

from the programme. Either we are or we are not a

programme. If we are, we must make this unequivocably clear

in our calendar, otherwise we come over as nothing more than a

pot-p('urrJ

of courses.

The program offers:

An interdepartmental B.A. in Cognitive Science

An honors program in Cognitive Science with a concentration in

either Psychology. Linguistics. Philosophy or Computing Science.

In the last fifteen years there has been a great surge in the research

in various aspects of cognition. This work has affected many fields

including Psychology. Linguistics. Philosophy, and Computing Science,

as well as Anthropology, Communication and Sociology. The extent of

the influence varies from field to field, but the greatest impact within

Psychology has been on the subfields of Psychqlinguistics. Cognitive

Psychology, and Developmental Psychology; within Philosophy, on Phi-

losophy of Language, Philosophical Logic and Philosophy of Mind; and

within Linguistics, on Semantics, Syntax, Phonology and Phonetics;

and within Computing Science, on Artificial Intelligence.

People working within these areas find that they read the same liter-

ature and ask closely related questions in their research and teaching. It

has become evident that an increasing amount of work being done in

these fields belongs to a common area which cuts across traditional

epartmental organization. There are now several journals publishing

rticles in Philosophy of Language, Psycholinguistics, Linguistics, Artifi-

cial Intelligence, and Cognitive Science, and a large number of collec-

tions of essays have been published which contain articles from each of

these fields.

Within Simon Fraser University, this interrelation is reflected in a

number of courses which draw on research being done in these areas.

Presently, coursei in the study of cognitioI3iangUa

are spread out

over several different departments. The prOgram in Cognitive Science

draws many of them together into a unified program, and offers stu-

dents a structured and integrated study of cognition.
