Aim and Scope:
The CDS Task Force on Language and Cognition is primarily concerned with the what, how and why of the interaction of language, perception and action in and with humans. Members of this task force explores the cognitive, developmental and linguistic aspects of this interaction and develop computational models of the mechanisms Involved.
