| Indhold: |
The aim of the course is to familiarize the student with different paradigms and discussions in the cognitive sciences. The course aims at introducing students to the science of the mind from the perspective of philosophy and the humanities (communication studies). In the course of the module, students will be introduced to the following aspects of cognitive science:
- The interdisciplinary nature of cognitive science and its different paradigms - from the classical information-processing model over connectionism to a biological paradigm
- How key concepts are introduced and used by different paradigms
- Basic aspects of the brain’s functions, architecture, and evolutionary history
- The role of embodiment in understanding and explaining cognition
How abilities like consciousness, perception, emotion, motivation, action, and mind-reading are conceptualized and explained, and how they relate to and communicate with the environment
- How applications of cognitive science may have relevance for communication
- Basic issues in philosophy of mind and philosophy of psychology such as differences within theories of mind (functionalism, eliminativism, etc.), the status of common sense psychology and the nature-nurture debate.
The course consists of a series of twelve (12x2) lectures and six (6x2) practice lessons.
