The main goal of the course is to acquaint students with cognitive psychology, as a scientific discipline that deals with the study of human cognition, and to provide them with the current knowledge related to human cognition. In addition, the course also emphasizes the ability to properly understand this knowledge and apply it. For this purpose, the course provides not only an overview of the main theories of selected cognitive processes and the broader context of the discipline but also practice: practical illustrations and systematic encouragement of critical thinking. The main goal of seminars is to train the ability to use and adequately present the acquired knowledge, connect this knowledge to other related areas, think about it independently, discuss it critically and, last but not least, to flexiblty and cretively solve various related model activities.
Knowledge: Students will gain an overview of the history and development of cognitive psychology, including major theories and models. They will acquire knowledge about cognitive processes such as perception, attention, memory, learning, thinking, and language. They will be familiar with the main paradigms of thinking about these cognitive processes and the research methods used in cognitive psychology.
Abilities: Students will develop the ability to think about cognitive processes within the framework of selected theoretical models. They will be able to apply cognitive psychology theories to real-life situations and problems. They will gain the skill to design and conduct experiments to investigate cognitive processes. Students can build upon the acquired abilities and further develop them in subsequent courses.
Skills
Students will be able to use the principles of cognitive psychology to solve practical problems. They will understand optimally functioning cognitive processes as well as their natural limits and will be able to effectively communicate concepts and research findings in the field of cognitive psychology. They will be prepared to critically follow current developments and research in cognitive psychology.
The information will be yearly specified on the electronic noticeboard of the course in AiS2, alternatively in LMS UPJŠ or MS Teams environment.
Teaching will take place in person.
