Exploring “human intelligence” from a cognitive science approach
My specialty is cognitive science, particularly decision science.
Compared to artificial intelligence (AI), humans are inferior in terms of computational capacity and memory storage, and thus the amount of data humans can handle is very small. However, even if so, humans do not always make the wrong decisions. Rather, they are able to make accurate judgments in many situations.
I consider such characteristics as sophisticated thinking that is unique to humans: “human intelligence”.
We aim to clarify the essence of human intelligence through cognitive science approaches such as behavioral experiments, cognitive modeling, computer simulations, and analyses of the real-world data.
