Abstract
This introductory chapter presents some background and context for some of the techniques and approaches to cognitive modeling and simulations. It includes the summarizing ideas drawn for the contributed chapters to reveal the topical link between them while presenting hints as to the direction of future research. Indeed cognitive science has been endeavoring to harness the rigor and efficiency of mathematical modeling, in particular, in times of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing and information science.
