Educational And Training Objectives
The course presents an integrated approach to cognition and shows how cognition is shaped by evolution, learning, and culture.
Course content
An integrated approach to cognition aims at bridging the gap between various levels of analysis (from neurons to behaviour) and exploits recent advances in the development of formal models. Numerical cognition is used as a case study to show how interdisciplinary research spanning a variety of methods and subject populations offers a coherent and integrated path towards understanding how cognition is shaped by evolution, learning, and culture.
Topics: animal cognition; cognitive development; neural bases of cognition; cultural effects on cognition; embodied cognition; computational modeling of cognition
