Comment/Description

Diese LV ist eine Pflichtveranstaltung für den Profilbildenden Wahlbereich.

This lecture series gives a broad overview of cognitive science, its history and domains of study. The course covers major topics such as (visual) perception, action, learning, memory, problem solving, language, and artificial intelligence. In addition, the empirical approach, research ethics, and the role of cognitive modeling will be discussed. Throughout the course, we will try to understand the interdisciplinary nature of cognitive science and what implications this has for the study of the mind. Although the main format of the course is lecturing the audience is encouraged to actively participate, ask questions and express their own knowledge and ideas. Students have to be correct on 50% of 5 online (multiple-choice) questions per session for passing the course and obtaining 3 ECTS credit points.
