HCCK03272U COG Empirical Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience and Communication
Master in Cognition and Communication
The aim of the module is to introduce terminology and methods in
contemporary experimental psychology and cognitive
neuroscience. During the course, we will discuss what makes a
psychological theory a scientific theory, the logic of
psychological experimentation, issues such as validity and
generalizability, and the statistical methods used to help
researchers make inferences from psychological and neuroscientific
studies. To this end, the module will introduce the student to
experimental key terms (e.g. independent vs. dependent
variables, controlled variables, confounders), methodologies
(e.g. response-time measurement, fMRI), and
paradigmatic theories in contemporary psychology (e.g. dual
process theories of reasoning and decision making).
The course can be followed by anyone with an interest in
understanding scientific psychology.
The readings will be a mix of research papers, review papers, and book chapters
