Abstract
In my talk I will discuss the concept of a cognitive ontology, which defines the parts of the mind that psychologists and neuroscientsts aim to study. I will discuss the way in which ontologies have traditionally been defined, and then discuss ways in which ontology might be reconsidered in the context of computational approaches to cognition.
