You will acquire basic knowledge of the neuroscientific foundations of the relationship between brain and behaviour. You will acquire a basic understanding of the theories, methods and subject areas of cognitive psychology and transfer this theoretical knowledge to current research questions in the neurosciences. You will expand your area of expertise with basic knowledge in the field of neuropsychological diagnostics.
You will demonstrate the acquisition of these competences either in an oral examination or in a written examination by showing your knowledge and understanding of the issues dealt with in the courses.
In this lecture you will be given an introduction to the psychology of human information processing. Special emphasis is placed on the following sub-areas: Aspects of perception, attention, short-term and long-term memory, memory errors, knowledge representation, visual perception and problem solving, as well as methods of brain research and the basics of neuropsychological diagnostics. Building on this, you will receive a general overview of the applications of the methods and theories of modern cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience.
In the seminar course, you will deepen your knowledge (e.g. structure and function of the nerve cell, basics of neuroanatomy, methods of brain research and sensory physiology) on selected topics.
Basic anatomical and psychological knowledge is helpful.
