Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The lecture provides a comprehensive overview of the processes leading to animal perception, learning and memory from a biological point of view. After a brief outline of the history of cognitive biology basic processes like stimulus perception, individual development of behavioral mechanisms (including the nature-nurture debate), as well as associative mechanisms of learning and learning theories will be discussed. Later units will be dedicated to higher cognitive traits, like memory, categorization, and language.
