Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The aim of this course is to support and move beyond students’ understanding of basic conceptual foundations regarding methods and techniques used in cognitive psychology and neuroscience. Students will have the opportunity to engage with several different lecturers, each with a differing background expertise in the fields of Empirical Aesthetics, Psychopharmacology, and Social Neuroscience, tackling questions such as "Are people with Parkinson's disease more creative?", "Does testosterone make you take more risk?", "Can psychostimulants actually decrease your performance?" etc.

Instead of a one-directional lecture, students will have the opportunity to work in smaller class groups and to engage on a more conversational level with the teacher in order to discuss topics and papers. To this end, the class is focused on active discussion and engagement, as well as the reading of one key research paper per week. We will also schedule lab visits during lecture times to have a hands-on opportunity to see some of the techniques in action.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

The main methods of grading will emphasize:
1) weekly reading of one paper and completion of a short written homework assignment about the paper’s content/proposed research question and how the student’s might assess this: 50%
2) active discussion in class from all students, and the presentation of the paper content by one student each week: 50%

If it appears that students are not reading the papers and prepping for class, we also reserve the possibility of introducing weekly quizzes.
