This programme provides the basic knowledge of cognitive psychology, cognitive science and machine learning to individuals who want to pursue their further studies in the fields of psychology, cognitive science, quantitative psychology, data science, big data analytics, artificial intelligence, or other related disciplines in bachelor’s or postgraduate’s programmes at universities.
(Note: This is an introductory level programme, so no programming background is required.)
Training in cognitive science prepares students admirably well for many of the disciplines that are targeted as the major growth fields of the 21st century, e.g., psychology, education, data science, medical analysis, virtual reality, artificial intelligence. As the world is enclosed by the information age, cognitive psychologists will be uniquely positioned to deal with this information. The programme aims to establish foundations for individuals who want to pursue their studies in the areas of psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, data science, etc.
On completion of the programme, students should be able to
- describe the history and development of cognitive science;
- describe the role of cognitive science in the field of psychology;
- explain the concept and the development of language;
- explain the differences between human vision and computer vision;
- apply the fundamental concepts of machine learning and the programming basics in cognitive psychology;
- identify the role of cognitive psychology in developing the technologies behind artificial intelligence, and of the foundational concepts those technologies provide back to cognitive psychology.
