《IEEE认知与发展系统汇刊》（TCDS）关注自然（人、动物）和人工（机器人、代理）系统中发展与认知研究的进展。它欢迎来自多个相关学科的贡献，包括认知系统、认知机器人、发展和表观遗传学机器人、自主和进化机器人、社会结构、多智能体和人工生命系统、计算神经科学和发展心理学。文章的理论，计算，面向应用和实验研究，以及在这些领域的评论。
The IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental Systems (TCDS) focuses on advances in the study of development and cognition in natural (humans, animals) and artificial (robots, agents) systems. It welcomes contributions from multiple related disciplines including cognitive systems, cognitive robotics, developmental and epigenetic robotics, autonomous and evolutionary robotics, social structures, multi-agent and artificial life systems, computational neuroscience, and developmental psychology. Articles on theoretical, computational, application-oriented, and experimental studies as well as reviews in these areas are considered.
