在认知科学发展的案例研究中，我们分析了认知科学学会的活动，特别强调该领域的多学科性质。对院系隶属关系、培训背景、研究方法和论文引用情况的分析表明，《认知科学》杂志和认知科学学会年会以认知心理学和计算机科学为主，而不是在认知科学的构成学科之间平分秋色。然而，在许多层面上，越来越多的工作涉及多个学科的结合，例如认知科学学会最近的工作大约有 30-50% 是多学科的。在对参与合作研究的认知科学家进行的问卷调查中，发现多学科性影响着研究过程并影响与成功研究相关的因素。
In a case study of the growth of cognitive science, we analyzed the activities of the Cognitive Science Society with a particular emphasis on the multidisciplinary nature of the field. Analyses of departmental affiliations, training backgrounds, research methodology, and paper citations suggest that the journal Cognitive Science and the Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society are dominated by cognitive psychology and computer science, rather than being an equal division among the constituent disciplines of cognitive science. However, at many levels, a growing percentage of work was found to involve a conjunction of multiple disciplines, such that approximately 30-50% of recent work in the Cognitive Science Society is multidisciplinary. In a questionnaire study of cognitive scientists involved in collaborative research, multidisciplinarity was found to shape the research process and affect the factors associated with successful research.
