Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Central research questions/phenomena (perception & action, emotions, memory, language, social cognition) in cognitive science are discussed in relation to the paradigms introduced in the lecture "Basic Concepts of Cognitive Science - Foundations in Cognitive Science" (classical AI & symbolism, connectionism, dynamical systems, embodied & situated cognition, enactivism). Attendance of the lecture "Basic Concepts of Cognitive Science - Foundations in Cognitive Science" is therefore required.Based on the primary and secondary literature provided and following the guiding questions interdisciplinary groups of students prepare a joint presentation on one of the phenomena mentioned above. The presentation is followed by discussion.Language: English
