http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiotics Semiotics , also called semiotic studies and including (in the Saussurean tradition) semiology , is the study of signs and sign processes ( semiosis ), indication, designation, likeness, analogy , metaphor , symbolism , signification, and communication. Semiotics is closely related to the field of linguistics , which, for its part, studies the structure and meaning of language more specifically. However, as different from linguistics, semiotics studies also non-linguistic sign systems . Semiotics is often divided into three branches:

Semiotics

Improving Cognition

Cognition Disorders

Cognitive science

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_science Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary scientific study of the mind and its processes. It examines what cognition is, what it does and how it works. It includes research on intelligence and behavior, especially focusing on how information is represented, processed, and transformed (in faculties such as perception , language , memory , reasoning , and emotion) within nervous systems (human or other animal) and machines (e.g. computers). Cognitive science consists of multiple research disciplines, including psychology , artificial intelligence , philosophy , neuroscience , linguistics , and anthropology . [ 1 ] It spans many levels of analysis, from low-level learning and decision mechanisms to high-level logic and planning; from neural circuitry to modular brain organization. The fundamental concept of cognitive science is "that thinking can best be understood in terms of representational structures in the mind and computational procedures that operate on those structures."
