Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

At the end of this course, participants have learned to research, to structure and to write a literature review to a given topic. Optionally, participants are also able to formulate a research question of their own and an experimental design to tackle this question. The course is a preparation for conducting an empirical study in the next term.
The topics cover a large variety of research fields, such as:
- Attention in the new media (films, videos games)
- (Un)conscious manipulation of attention and behaviour
- Neural correlates of consciousness
- Cognition and language
- Chess and cognitive psychology
- Knowledge management: learning strategies and learning types
- Critical assessment of gender differences in experiments
- Attentional biases in eating disorders

Participants are also allowed to propose their own research topics after consulting the lecturers.
