This subject is conceived as the introduction to the cognitive psychology for the students of technical schools. The mind is considered as the information processing system in this approach so the students should find some similarities with the computational and mathematical theories. The lectures are divided to the several sections copying the way of informational processing in the human brain. There are lectures focused attention, perception, reasoning, mental imagery, knowledge representation and language acquisition. In the practical lessons student undergo experiments that demonstrates theories from the lectures.Study targets:
It is an introduction to the cognitive psychology for the computer science students. It is suitable for the students interested in the artificial intelligence and cognitive modeling.Course outlines:
| 1. | Introduction - definition of psychology, historical context, Behaviorism, Gestalt psychology, Cognitive psychology, present status. | |
| 2. | Psychological methods - observation, interview, questionnaire, test, experiment, product analysis, case study, modelling, advantages and disadvantages, application. | |
| 3. | Attention and consciousness - preconscious processing, habituation, signal detection theory, selective attention, filter theory, Posner theory, evoked potentials, Marcel`s model. | |
| 4. | Perception - sensation and perception, perceptual constants, depth perception, shape perception, top down a bottom up perception theories, computational theories of perception, perception impairment. | |
| 5. | Memory - memory models, short term and long term models, working memory, connectionist approach to memory, memory impairment, neurobiological correlates. | |
| 6. | Memory processes - memory coding, short term to long term memory transport, memory recall, forgetting. | |
| 7. | Knowledge representation - mental imagery, dual coding theory, mental manipulation, mental rotation, imagery scanning, mental models, cognitive maps. | |
| 8. | Knowledge representation- terms and categories, semantic nets, cognitive schema, production systems, ACT, ACT*, connectionist models. | |
