In the mid-1950s the informative-communicative scientific paradigm was replaced by a cognitive paradigm, which first emerged in Western psychology and subsequently became interdisciplinary. The birthday of cognitive science, as a new field of scientific knowledge, is considered to be September 11, 1956, the day when a symposium on the problems of artificial intelligence was held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). At this symposium, spoke such distinguished scientists as Noam Chomsky, George A. Miller, A. Newell and G. Simon and others. Scientists have discussed the problem of research on the work of neural networks of the brain using the latest supercomputers of that time. The reports raised problems of balance of mind and language, limitation of working memory, speed of recognition of images, theory of detection of signals. In 1960 Jerome Bruner and George A. Miller organized the first center for cognitive research at Harvard University, where intensive neuro-cybernetic studies of cognitive psychology were developed. As a result we have studies of mental and cognitive processes, through which a person recognizes, perceives and feels the world around him. Gradually the interdisciplinary cognitive paradigm began to embrace both foreign and domestic humanities.
