Oktatás célja

Human memory across the lifespan; development, learning and forgetting Aim of the course Aim of the course The course aims to give an integrative framework within which different research fields could connect to the current theories of memory research. Flexibly adapting the specific topics to the attendant students' interest, we plan to discuss the developmental, clinical, educational, and neuropsychological aspects of memory. The required reading provides a common ground to start a discussion. Furthermore, the presentations chosen by the students show a specific question we discuss during the class. Learning outcome, competences Knowledge: memory system and background processes research and testing methods of memory processes Attitude: interdisciplinary approach sensitivity toward general theoretical questions Skills: analytic thinking understanding the relevance of the experimental approach
