Psychology - Experimental Psychology and Neuroscience
FsB vom 01.04.2022 mit Änderung vom 21.03.2023
The programme deepens and expands the education of a B.Sc. Psychology with a focus on methodological and content expertise in Experimental Psychology and Neuroscience.
The focus consists of two main sections. The first section is the teaching of the methodological competences necessary for a research activity in the mentioned field. In particular, these include in-depth knowledge of important relevant methods (e.g., eye tracking, EEG, fMRI), as well as practice in programming instrumental research tools in programming languages commonly used in psychology (e.g., Python, MatLab), and practical knowledge of programming evaluation cascades in current statistical and data analytic programming environments. A neurocognitive project further integrates the acquired knowledge.
The second pillar initially deepens topics of basic research in the field of Cognitive Neuroscience. Cognitive is to be understood here in the sense of information processing and includes not only attention, memory, perception, etc., but also motivation and emotion. Furthermore, the field of Neuropsychology and Clinical Neuroscience builds a bridge between the basic contents of neuroscience and its application in the field of work with and research on people with brain damage. Exemplary topics are overviews of and in-depth knowledge of neuropsychological disorders resulting from brain damage, instrumental and behavioral examination methods, and relevant rehabilitation approaches.
In addition to Experimental Psychology and Neuroscience specialisation, the programme deepens and expands knowledge of the methodological foundations of psychology, computer-assisted data collection, modeling and analysis of data, survey design, and answering evaluative questions. In addition, advanced psychometric principles of psychological diagnosis, in-depth study of the theory, construction, and application of psychological tests, and recent developments in test theory and test construction are taught.
