Examination achievement PL1

Form of examination: oral examination (15-30 Min.)
Examination Frequency: each semester
Examination number: 50110 ("Cognitive Neuroscience - Specialized Seminars")

Evaluation of grades

The grade of the module examination is also the module grade.

From [SO-08-26.1001-K-6] Visual Perception:

Perception of shape, color, motion, and stereoscopic depth

perceptual organization
object recognition.

From [SO-08.3-1213-K-4] Human Memory: Behavioral und Neural Basis:

Structures and processes in human memory
working memory theories
evelopment memory and attention

From [SO-12-26.3000-K-7] Neural Basis of Language:

to introduce and familiarize students with the relationship between brain and language
to familiarize students with ways in which language and the brain are investigated
to understand how language is represented in the “typical” brain
to provide a foundation for students to understand how language breaks down as a result of acquired brain injury
to understand how language is represented and breaks down in bi/multilingual brains and in visuospatial languages

(i.e. sign language)

to give students the practical skills to properly report, review, and reference research articles in the field

From [SO-15-26.6000-K-7] Introduction to Neuropsychology:

Understanding of the structure and function of the brain as it relates to specific psychological processes and behaviors. Topics include foundations of neuropsychology, structure of the nervous system, functional specialization of the brain, cognitive functions, research methods, and clinical assessment and rehabilitation.

Competencies / intended learning achievements

On successfully completing the module students will be able to,

gain an understanding of the neuronal mechanisms underlying cognitive functions in healthy and patient populations, the functioning of neurons, and the essential methods of cognitive neuroscience.
present their knowledge of special topics from the field of Cognitive Neuroscience
apply the acquired understanding of the neuronal mechanisms underlying cognitive functions in healthy and patient

populations, explain the functioning of neurons and compare the essential methods of Cognitive Neuroscience

read and interpret scientific English literature in this field
summarize and compare research papers and highlight relevant information from these papers
debate scientific issues with peers or lecturers and thereby refer to complex concepts
