The transdisciplinary field centered on the processes by which knowledge is acquired, either in living systems, or in computers.
According to E. BUCHBERGER (Comp.) the subject includes: “…cognitive psychology, artificial intelligence, philosophy of science, linguistics and ”philosophy of mind“ (sic in German original). Together with inquiring methods of cognitive psychology it includes the use of computer models to investigate mental processes and structures” (1987, p.21).
