Kursinformation

Associative learning has a long tradition to develop experimental procedure of psychology and neuroscience and explore the mechanisms of learning of behavior, but it has been sometimes underesitmated its power and regarded as merely a “kill-joy” hypothesis of cognition. The course is intended to renew our view of associative learning to a modern concept, which is not necessarily conflict against cognitive science. We start very basics of learning psychology, and thus, prerequisite knowledge would be minimal. However, we would eventually learn modern view of associative learning and how it is applied to investigate and explain various phenomena including neural basis of learning, psychiatry, and even consciousness.
