10 Credit points

For information on the duration of the modul, refer to the courses of study in which the module is used.

Competencies

After completing the module, you will be able to present and characterize general theoretical principles regarding the cognitive foundations of movement planning and execution. Using practical examples, you will be able to apply and critically evaluate different theoretical approaches. On this basis, you will be able to evaluate movement control strategies in sports. You will be able to theoretically define a problem area of human movement organization and address it using scientific methods. By preparing a project report, you will illustrate the presentation of empirical facts. You will also develop your teamwork skills, as projects are typically carried out in groups of two to three people. You will also demonstrate your proficiency in presentation techniques by presenting your results.

Content of teaching

You will be introduced to the theories and models of the cognitive reference systems of human actions (memory, perception, goal coding), including experimental approaches to measuring movement representations (measurement of long-term memory, short-term memory, neural networks). In addition, you will learn about the fundamental paradigms and approaches to the study of human intelligence (history of intelligence diagnostics, intelligence tests, dynamic testing of action intelligence, problem-solving strategies). Further course content includes current research fields on the relationship between human intelligence and intelligent technical systems (robotics, human-machine interaction, embodied communication, embodiment).

The coursework serves to practice a reflective and discursive attitude to the topics covered in the course and has a practising and deepening character with regard to the competences anchored in the module. An academic achievement is the completion of an assignment for practice purposes. Such tasks can be: the preparation of minutes of a meeting, an abstract of a short text, an essay, the preparation of a contribution to a meeting or a project presentation, the solving of application tasks, the moderation of a discussion group or similar. The following applies to all contributions: Students may be required to submit written contributions totalling a maximum of 2400 words or oral contributions totalling a maximum of 50-60 minutes in one course.
