\n\tFrom the euCognition<\/a><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe following definitions were contributed by members of euCognition in response to a questionnaire<\/a>. The definitions are listed in the order in which they were submitted.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCognition is the ability to relate perception and action in a meaningful way determined by experience,learning and memory. 
\n\tMike Denham<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA cognitive system possesses the ability of self-reflection (or at least self-awareness). 
\n\tHorst Bischof<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCognition is gaining knowledge through the senses. 
\n\tMajid Mermehdi<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCognition is the ability to ground perceptions in concepts together with the ability to manipulate concepts in order to proceed toward goals. 
\n\tChristian Bauckhage<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAn artificial cognitive system is a system that is able to perceive its surrounding environment with multiple sensors, merge this information, reason about it, learn from it and interact with the outside world. 
\n\tBarbara Caputo<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA machine is said to be a cognitive system if a human observer cannot detect a difference between the behavior of this machine and the behavior of an evolved animal (either human or animal relative). 
\n\tMichel Olivier<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCognition is self-aware processing of information. 
\n\tCecilio Angulo<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCognitive systems are systems with knowledge-based behavior. 
\n\tKnowledge is agent-owned architecture-specific models of realities to interact with. 
\n\tRicardo Sanz<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCognitive Systems are ones that are able to extract and (most importantly) represent useful aspects of largely redundant, possibly irrelevant sensory information in a form that is most conducive to achieving a particular high level goal. 
\n\tSethu Vijayakumar<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA cognitive system should be defined by its capability of finding the relationship of some or all the information coming from its inputs (sensors) in order to generate the best (internal or external) outputs after comparing this information with previously "memorized" input-output patterns. 
\n\tBoris Duran<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCognition is the act of segmenting and recognizing a perceptual event and grounding (binding) it to a symbol (meaning). 
\n\tAxel Pinz<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCognition is autonomous conjectural (fallible) symbol grounding. (Symbols may, of course, take varied physical forms, including continuous and distributed…) 
\n\tBarry McMullin<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCognitive systems are systems that control learned "automatic" mappings between sensory stimuli and motor behavior by integrating internal states and intentions. 
\n\tWolfram Erlhagen<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCognition is a process of search for an appropriate action by an intelligent agent. An (artificial) cognitive system is one that uses intelligent control, generally modelled on high-level biological intelligent systems; common features are memory, learning, and a capacity for planning. 
\n\tJoanna Bryson<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAn artificial cognitive system is an embodied computer. It is designed by people to realize a cognitive task. The aim of the design is to construct a system producing a behavior that is qualified by system's designers as a reasonable behavior performing the task at hand. What is a cognitive task depends on the designers. 
\n\tJir Wiedermann<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA cognitive system is a system that can change its behaviour based on reasoning, using observed evidence and domain knowledge. 
\n\tBob Fisher<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCognition is when I know what I am doing, when I can judge how good or bad it is, and explain why I am doing it.
\n\tMarkus Vincze<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCognitive systems are systems with open niche spaces, capable of (some degree of) decoupling from immediate stimuli, and of (flexibly) controlling the degree to which internal representations and environmental input feed information processing, so as to remain within the state space of survivability. 
\n\tPaolo Petta<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCognition is the state of mind when we understand something without being able to define it. (If cognition were definable, it would be implementable in a Turing machine). 
\n\tMaria Petrou<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA Cognitive System is an artificial system designed to carry out tasks in the real world which are sufficiently complex to require (i) knowledge acquisition by real-world sensing, (ii) learning, prediction and planning, and (iii) real-world interaction. 
\n\tBernd Neumann<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA cognitive system (is a system that) can modify its behaviour on the basis of experience so as to achieve specific anti-entropic ends. 
\n\tErik Hollnagel<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA system is "cognitive" if it is able to act or reason adequately (in terms of externally observable standards) in response to its perception of its environment, using principles and concepts learned through its interaction with its environment. 
\n\tJustus Piater<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCognition is a mapping from sensation (present and past) to current action which achieves a specific condition robustly across significant perturbations of the external mapping from action (present and past) to current sensation. 
\n\tPaul Fitzpatrick<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCognition is the ability to plan, reason, adapt and act according to high level motivations or goals and using a range of senses, typically including vision, and may be communicate 
\n\tPatrick Courtney<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA cognitive system is one that is able to perceive, learn, reason, plan and express itself through language and action and do so intentionally, i.e. it must be able to understand the intentionality of others and demonstrate intentionality when engaged in communication. 
\n\tKaterina Pastra<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHuman capabilities activated due to perception, which are enhanced with learning and reasoning skills and wich implies a physical reaction within the environment. The cultural context, within which cognition is performed, plays an important role, too. 
\n\tJordi Gonzalez<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCognition is a set of information-processing capacities that allow to flexibly act in a complex environment 
\n\tAndreas K. Engel<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA cognitive system is an autonomous anti-entropy engine. 
\n\tDavid Vernon<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA cognitive system is a system capable of abstracting significant environmental facts, in different time scales, from the here and now of embodied dynamic interaction. 
\n\tCarlos Herrera<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCognition does not describe any well-defined state, relation, thing, or event. Once we have a vocabulary to express the dynamic embedding of perceiving and acting agents in a rich environment, the term will be redundant. 
\n\tFred Cummins<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCognition is the process of achieving a goal by a process of perception, modelling, planning and acting which does not exclude the pursuit of sub-optimal paths and strategies 
\n\tMichael Carey<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAny system able to interact with external cues (cognitive or not) and to learn from experience 
\n\tPatrizia Fattori<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA System that interacts with the real-world, develops some notion of "self" and acts in the world to preserve this Self. 
\n\tSajit Rao<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCognitive is any system that has the following characteristics: 
\n\t(i) is aware of itself; 
\n\t(ii) it is able to describe its environment, somehow; 
\n\t(iii) it can interact with its surrounding. 
\n\tAntonios Gasteratos<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA cognitive system is able to interpret sensations through abstraction, i.e. its responses may not be directly correlated with the sensations. Furthermore, a cognitive system is able to evolve by building new abstractions, depending on its goals. Finally, the construction and evolution of a cognitive system needs to be efficient, contrasting a system with pre-programmed responses to all the sensations it might encounter. 
\n\tPeter Auer<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCognitive systems are systems that are capable of acquiring, extending, and justifying knowlege. 
\n\tMarcin Mi\u0142kowski<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCognition falsifies the homunculus fallacy. 
\n\tAndrás L\u0151rincz<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCognition: the algorithms and representations that determine fitness. 
\n\tTjeerd Andringa<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCognitive systems are machines capable of linking symbolic forms to the physical states of their material parts. They do so autonomously and inherently. 
\n\tSybe Rispens<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCognition is the same as life. Life is not definable. As a living system operates it is making cognitive acts. Observer's eye sees all that stuff (including observer too).
