認知處理——《國際認知科學季刊》是一份同行評議的國際期刊，發(fā)表認知科學多學科領(lǐng)域的創(chuàng)新成果。它的第一個目的是展示與自然和人工系統(tǒng)中認知處理的不同方面有關(guān)的多個學科的最新成果:人工智能、計算機科學和知識工程、語言學、數(shù)學、神經(jīng)科學、哲學和認知人類學、心理學、機器人。其主要目的是通過不同領(lǐng)域的專家就共同感興趣的主題進行交流，促進研究和科學互動，促進對當代認知科學中各種主題的跨學科理解。認知加工考慮與認知加工有關(guān)的各種主題，接受各種研究方法:理論、實驗、方法、計算和建模、應(yīng)用。暫定的議題包括:行動;關(guān)注;認知變化與優(yōu)化;認知科學中的計算;聯(lián)結(jié)主義的方法;專業(yè)知識;知識獲取;知識表示;語言(語法與語義、語篇分析、發(fā)展、干擾);心理結(jié)構(gòu)和模型;記憶;心設(shè)計;多媒體數(shù)據(jù)庫;感知和模式識別。認知加工按照以下規(guī)則發(fā)表論文:綜述是對與認知科學相關(guān)的問題的最新科學文獻進行綜述和討論的論文;研究論文詳盡而廣泛地介紹新的科學成果;簡短的交流是簡短的文章，報道重要的實驗結(jié)果，保證與科學界的快速交流;給編輯的信中提出了需要立即發(fā)表的正在進行的研究的新的、原創(chuàng)的想法;實驗室筆記是對科學實驗室活動的簡短、概括的介紹。

Cognitive Processing -- International Quarterly of Cognitive Science is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes innovative contributions in the multidisciplinary field of cognitive science.Its first aim is to present the latest results obtained in the manifold disciplines concerned with the different aspects of cognitive processing in natural and artificial systems: artificial intelligence, computer science and knowledge engineering, linguistics, mathematics, neuroscience, philosophy and cognitive anthropology, psychology, robotics.Its main purpose is to stimulate research and scientific interaction through communication between specialists in different fields on topics of common interest and to promote an interdisciplinary understanding of the diverse topics in contemporary cognitive science.Cognitive Processing considers diverse subject matter concerning cognitive processing, accepting various approaches to investigation: theoretical, experimental, methodological, computational and modeling, applicative. A tentative list of topics includes: action; attention; cognitive change and optimization; computation in cognitive science; connectionist approaches; expertise; knowledge acquisition; knowledge representation; language (grammar and semantics, discourse analysis, development, disturbances); mental architectures and models; memory; mind design; multimedia databases; perception and pattern recognition.Cognitive Processing publishes papers under the following rubrics: Reviews are papers reviewing and discussing recent scientific literature on a problem relevant for cognitive science; Research Articles are exhaustive and extensive presentations of new scientific results; Short Communications are brief articles reporting important experimental findings that warrant rapid communication to the scientific community; Letters to the Editor present new, original ideas from research in progress that require immediate publication; Laboratory Notes are brief, general presentations of the activities in scientific laboratories.
