Grounded Cognition – 2-IKV-236a/19
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 computational). The course focus is on grounded (embodied) cognition, and its relation to 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.

Paper presentation | Prepare a short presentation of the topic you plan to write about, using a few slides (max. 4), focusing on the main message you want to convey. |
Grading
- Activity during the semester (30%). This includes weekly submitting inputs to the moderator and an active participation during discussions.
- Paper presentation and moderation (30%). You will select a topic for presentation (one of the papers in the syllabus), collect by email the inputs (one question or a discussion point) from other students in advance (until Saturday, 20:00), and organize them by topic. The inputs should be sent to the moderator, with the subject "author" (use the first author's surname). The moderator sends sorted questions to all students by Monday 17:00 to all students (and teachers), so that they have some time to think of them. The moderation will give a short intro in the class and then moderate the discussion.
- Final paper (30%). You will write a 4-page (conference) paper in PDF (40 lines per page, single column, including references), on the topic of your choice (from the 12 topics during the course), appropriately extended (including additional references). Deadline: 15.1.2021.
- Final paper presentation (10%). You will prepare a short presentation (8 min.) of your paper.
- Overall grading (in %): A > 90, B > 80, C > 70, D > 60, E > 50, else Fx.
