Cognitive Systems
Teaching concept: This course will provide a systematic introduction into the interdisciplinary field of natural and artificial cognitive systems. It will present the relevant computational and psychological concepts, theories, methods, and terminology. Lectures will be complemented by labs, in which participants will work in teams to address selected practical and theoretical aspects in depth.
Objectives: Participants will learn about selected natural and artificial cognitive systems and predominant theories, models, and concepts. Different cognitive architectures and other approaches to computational cognitive modeling will be studied, in part practically and through cases. Applications to human-computer interaction, intelligent user interfaces, (multi-media) information design, and other areas will be discussed.
Selected topics: Introduction to cognitive systems; selected basics of cognition, perception, artificial intelligence; production, connectionist, and hybrid systems; cognitive architectures (e.g. ACT-R, SOAR, Cogent); external cognition; general models and individual abilities; applications to human-computer interaction, intelligent user interfaces, information design, etc. |
