Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

***Covid-19 Information: At the moment most lab excursions are planned to take place on-site. With rising numbers of infections the situation can change again and teachers are asked to prepare for digital alternatives in case of a lock-down. Any update about the status of excursions will be communicated via Moodle (where students can also register for the individual labs). ***

During the lab excursions students get to know research questions, topics, approaches and methods of the core disciplines of cognitive science as researched in different labs of the University of Vienna and Medical University of Vienna.

Learning Outcomes:
- Familiarity with individual researchers' questions and approaches
- Insight into the field and scientific culture of the core disciplines of cognitive science
- Insight how a particular way to pose a scientific question is related to the methodology chosen

Language: English
