The cognitive faculty at Memphis specializes in four primary areas: 1) Basic research on cognitive processes used in the encoding, storage, and retrieval of linguistic and non-linguistic information. 2) Psycholinguistics and discourse, specifically the processes and knowledge structures used in understanding and producing written and spoken language. 3) Learning technologies, including how developments in computer science and computational modeling can be applied to learning with the goal of applying principles of cognitive science to educational practice via technology to create automated learning environments. 4) Computational and statistical modeling, including advances in computational linguistics, natural language processing, multinomial processing tree models, and more. PhD training in the cognitive specialization includes activities within one or more of these themes through opportunities for exciting interdisciplinary collaborations. Training also draws upon the Institute for Intelligent Systems (IIS), an active cognitive science research community, which includes faculty from the Departments of Psychology, Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology, Computer Science, Education, Educational Technology, Engineering, English, Mathematical Sciences, Philosophy, and Physics.
