Case Studies in Computational Modelling of Mind

• Credit value: 15 credits at Level 7
• Convenor: Dr Raffaele Tucciarelli
• Assessment:  a programming exercise (50%) and a 1000-1500-word report (50%)

This module will discuss a range of case studies of computational models of cognition that reflect the expertise of a range of academic staff. Topics covered in the module will vary from year to year, but are likely to include computational models of vision, attention, memory, action selection, infant learning, language comprehension and production, genetic effects, reasoning and inference.

By the end of this module, you should:

• understand the role that empirical phenomena play in evaluating models
• be able to discuss a range of computational models that have been developed to account for empirical phenomena in a number of cognitive domains.
