Course Description:
In this course, you will learn to apply the instruments, methods and tricks that cognitive psychologists have up their sleeve for
investigating cognition. You will gain practical experience in the wholeresearch process: translating a research question into a good experimental design, collecting behavioral data, analyzing data, and writing a report. How can we use simple behavioral measures such as response time and accuracy to learn about the brain? And what can we learn from more complex measures, such as eye movements and pupil size? What variables
do we have to take into account when designing an experiment, so that our results are not susceptible to alternative explanations and that we can safely draw conclusions? These things will be covered in this course. All in all, the course should optimally prepare you for your bachelor’s thesis project—and potentially for a career in science.
