Grounded Cognition – 2-IKV-236/15
The course objective is to provide students with deeper insight into up-to-date research trends in cognitive science, from the perspective of various disciplines (psychological, neural and partly computational). The course focus is on grounded (embodied) cognition, with emphasis on language. The course should also help students in their ability to interpret scientific papers, to formulate, present and defend ideas.
The course is a part of Master Programme in Cognitive Science.

Grading
- Activity during the course (50%). This includes submitting inputs to the moderator and an active participation during discussions.
- Paper presentation and moderation (30%). You will select a topic for presentation, collect the inputs from other students in advance (details will be explained on the first day) and will moderate the discussion.
- Final reflection (20%). You will write a two-page essay, that will include answers to two points: 1. How you understand the main issues we dealt with (try to include open questions, if any), 2. How the learnt content enriched your existing knowledge.
- Overall grading: A (50-46), B (45-41), C (40-36), D (35-31), E (30-26), Fx (25-0).
