Research in cognition at LiU

Linköping University constitutes, together with national research institutes and companies in the region, one of the most active areas for cognitive science research and education in Sweden.

Cognitive Science Research at Linköping University is conducted in a number of different research groups at several institutions:

• Cognitive psychology and disability research at the Department of Behavioural Sciences and Learning (IBL).
• Cognitive systems, distributed and situated cognition, artificial intelligence, computational linguistics, IT and Learning, Interaction design and human-computer interaction at the Department of Computer and Information Science (IDA).
• Conversation Research at the Department of Culture and Communication (IKK) and at Child Studies.

A characteristic of the cognitive science research at Linköping University is the close connection between applied and theoretical research, where we not only see applied research as a scientific activity where basic discoveries are made practically useful, but also that the result of applied research has a direct impact on theory development. We therefore have a very active cooperation and exchange with research institutes in Linköping such as FOI (www.foi.se) and VTI (www.vti.se) and other organizations and enterprises.
