Kognitive Modellierung/Cognitive Modelling (WS 2011/2012)

General Information

• This course is offered as a cross-teaching module of the cognitive systems group and the general/cognitive psychology group. One part of this course is the psychology module Angewandte Kognitionspsychologie - Methoden der Kognitionspsychologie (Carbon et al., V/Ü; 2 SWS; Di, 12:00 - 14:00, MS8a/G2-01-10), the other part is offered by the cognitive systems group.  The psychology part consists of a lecture with integrated demonstrations. The cognitive systems part consists of about 7 lectures and a larger practice part where we realise an experiment for some selected cognitive phenomenon.
• For a general course description please read the corresponding pages from the WIAI module guide.
• You find administrative information at UnivIS.
• Participants should sign up for the course in the virtual campus.
