If I may stand tall on si's shoulders ... I'm thinking, as you dig into cognitive science, that there are a ton of overlapping and (to me) wildly interesting topics that compliment each other.
For example, (I like to think of these as all under and/or linked to si's great catch-all of cognitive science): - Cognitive psychology <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_psychology#:~:text=Cognitive%20psychology%20is%20the%20scientific,%2C%20creativity%2C%20and%20thinking%22.> - Problem solving <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_solving#Cognitive_sciences> - Cognitive load <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_load> - Information overload <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_overload> - Disabilities affecting intellectual abilities <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disabilities_affecting_intellectual_abilities> - Fight-or-flight response <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fight-or-flight_response> - Instinct <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instinct> - Experience <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experience> - Causality <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causality> - Philosophy <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy> - Information Mapping <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_mapping> *(well, not the specific methodology, but rather in general approaches to organising thoughts)* - etc. etc. ad infinitum ad *(well, the opposite to me because of an insatiable appetite for this kind of stuff)* nauseam There are so many things that can impact how each individual's thinking processes. Stuff that makes the human species pretty interesting. Fun post, bimlas !
