Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Students acquire (1) in-depth knowledge in selected fields of cognitive psychology (methodology, perception, attention, memory, knowledge representation, language, social cognition, creativity, fields of application, etc.), (2) understand and critically assess empirical research and (3) are familiar with the research process from the acquisition of third-party funding to publication in scientific journals.

To this end, textbook chapters and empirical research are read and critically discussed, groups of students present topics and empirical research from selected fields of cognitive psychology, and at the end, each student writes a short seminar paper (approx. 5 pages). Also, there are classes about searching for, reading, and critically assessing scientific literature, about scientific writing, and about the research process.
