• Seminars:
The goal of these seminars is to reinforce the contents
studied in class, by discussing recent short papers

related to the topics studied in theoretical classes.
The professor will offer a range of short papers, for the

Teaching methods
: The book by Jamie Ward will be used as textbook, and
therefore most academic activities will be done around
this book:
- The professor will give a seminal lecture for each
topic.
- After the lecture and the reading of the specific book
chapter, the topic will be discussed in class, following
some thought questions offered by the professor.
- Apart from following each topic through the textbook,
in groups, students will study in depth one specific
topic, by using the other recommended books.
- Recent short research papers, dealing with specific
issues related to the studied topics will be discusses in
seminars.

the total mark in the course (7/10).
Seminars: Participation in the seminars will compute
the remaining 30% of the overall mark in the course
(3/10). Evaluation will take into account the following
criteria:
•
•
•
Presentation of the paper to the audience: 0.5.
Assistance to seminars: 1.
Exam of the contents discussed in seminars (or
writing of a short essay discussing 4-5 papers):
1.5.
Participation in experiment: Students will
receive up to 0.5 of the overall mark in the
course for participating in Experiments on
Cognitive
