Abstract
Over the past ten years cognitive science has emerged as a dominant perspective in psychology. This new view brings together researchers with overlapping interests from the fields of artificial intelligence, psycholingu‐istics, psychology, epistemology, education and neurophysiology. In this paper an overview of cognitive science will be presented, including a model of human memory that serves to organize research, views on cognitive development, views on learning and problem‐solving, and possible applications in science education.Keywords
