• How cognitive metaphors and models affect both cognitive explanation and the study of communication
• How key concepts are introduced and/or rejected in various cognitive scientific research programmes

• Basic issues in the study of attention, consciousness, reasoning, language understanding, perception and action
• Basic issues in the communication of cognitive scientific research (especially cognitive neuroscientific research)
• How interactions
between brain, body and environment might constrain and enable the
development,
maintenance and execution of cognitive processes

and social interactions are modelled and studied in different
cognitive
