Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Preliminary information on the method of holding the LV:
The course will be held on site.
The aim of this course is to provide an insight into the field of social neuroscience through active engagement with scientific literature. We aim to provide you with a better understanding of the biological processes underlying human experience and behavior.

Topics:
Neural Basis of Memory

Empathy & Theory of Mind in Autism Spectrum Disorder
Group Perception & Emotion
Moral Emotions

Method:
This course consists of two preparatory sessions (Oct. 4 & 11, 16:45-18:15), four block dates (Dec. 6 & 13, Jan. 10 & 17, 2023, 16:45-20:00 each), and two wrap-up sessions (Jan. 24 and 31, 16:45-18:15). Participants will work in small groups on a project throughout the semester. The results of these projects will be presented both at a joint group presentation (block dates). In addition, short individual seminar papers will be written on the respective project topic. An essential element of the course are the discussions following the presentations as well as the discussion in the online area of the course. In addition to the own project work, at least one contribution to other project topics should be written on the teaching platform Moodle. As part of the post-processing of the project presentations, there will be a small test that summarizes the core content of the project topics.

Assessment and permitted materials

- Group presentation (35%, individual contributions will be evaluated separately)
- Seminar paper (35%)

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
