Learning Outcomes

Code KNOWLEDGE (Student knows and understands…)
K_W01 at an advanced level different theoretical paradigms in cognitive science (e.g., classical, subsymbolic, dynamic, evolutionary approaches), understands their methodological and historical underpinnings, and recognizes their applications in explaining cognitive phenomena
K_W02 at an advanced level structural and functional anatomy of the human central nervous system and can identify the key brain areas responsible for cognitive processes (perception, language, memory, attention, decision-making)
K_W03 at an advanced level strengths and limitations of quantitative and qualitative methods in studying social phenomena, particularly their use in analyzing cognitive processes and human behavior in cultural and social contexts.
K_W04 at an advanced level different approaches to modeling cognitive processes (symbolic, statistical, dynamic models), can explain their theoretical foundations and applications, and recognizes the constraints of each method
K_W05 at an advanced level interrelations between different types of cognitive processes (language, perception, motor activity, attention, memory, learning, decision-making) and how they mutually influence and shape human functioning
K_W06 social and ethical consequences of new information technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence, brain–computer interfaces, autonomous robotics) and their impact on individuals and society
K_W07 typical phases of the data analysis process (collection, storage, processing) and can identify the tools and best practices used at each stage
K_W08 principles of protection and management of intellectual property arising from activities of higher education and research institutions (in particular, rights to the results of scientific research, creative achievements, computer software, scientific publications)
Code SKILLS (Student can…)
K_U01 search for, select, and critically analyze scientific literature from various areas of cognitive science using advanced bibliographic tools and databases, comprehensively evaluating the quality, reliability, and relevance of the arguments
K_U02 integrate knowledge from psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, linguistics, and computer science to formulate complex research questions and solve non-standard problems in the domain of cognitive science
K_U03 justify the choice of specific research methodologies and data analysis methods based on the nature of the problem, the hypotheses, and the type of information gathered, demonstrating an understanding of their assumptions, constraints, and ethical considerations
K_U04 design and conduct empirical research using advanced experimental methods (e.g., EEG, fMRI, eye-tracking, VR) while adhering to the ethical principles governing scientific studies
K_U05 Identify philosophical, methodological, and ethical underpinnings of cognitive research, critically assessing the assumptions of existing theories and the societal and individual impacts of emerging technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence)
K_U06 process data from various sources (e.g., EEG, fMRI, eye-tracking, behavioral data) by applying advanced signal-processing techniques (e.g., filtering, decomposition) and integrating multidimensional datasets, then interpret the results in a cognitive context
K_U07 apply advanced data analysis tools (statistical methods, data science approaches, or machine learning techniques) to develop, visualize, and interpret multidimensional datasets relevant to cognitive research
K_U08 create and evaluate computational models (in Python or other programming languages) of selected cognitive processes (e.g., linguistic, perceptual, decision-making), and subsequently verify the accuracy of these models against empirical data
K_U09 explain complex linguistic phenomena and processes (e.g., in the scope of natural language, NLP, psycholinguistics) by utilizing both computational tools and theoretical knowledge of phonology, syntax, semantics, or pragmatics
K_U10 employ simulation methods (e.g., agent-based modeling, dynamic networks) to investigate interactions between individuals or elements of a system, interpreting the results in the context of cognitive psychology, sociology, or linguistics
K_U11 effectively and clearly present research findings in the form of scientific articles, reports, grant proposals, and presentations, taking into account the target audience, methodological context, and ethical requirements, while ensuring coherence and clarity of communication
K_U12 effectively use information and communication technologies for collecting, analysing, visualising, and presenting research data, utilising modern IT tools
K_U13 use the English language proficiently, enabling participation in international academic and professional environments (at least at the B2+ level of the CEFR).
K_U14 effectively communicate complex ideas and research findings while actively collaborating within an interdisciplinary research team, contributing to mutual understanding and integration of diverse perspectives
K_U15 play a significant role in conducting research projects, including leadership roles, fulfilling assigned tasks, collaborating with team members, and contributing to the successful completion of key project stages and deadlines
K_U16 independently plan and undertake lifelong learning also guiding others in this process

K_K01 systematically and critically verify their existing knowledge and newly acquired information, being able to identify potential methodological errors and gaps in both scientific and public argumentation (including online communications)
K_K02 consult experts and additional sources whenever uncertainties exceed the scope of their own specialization, leveraging their interdisciplinary education to effectively solve cognitive and practical problems
K_K03 utilize scientific knowledge in cognitive science to co-create and evaluate solutions to socially significant issues, supporting dialogue between scientists, policymakers, and citizens
K_K04 popularize knowledge in cognitive science by presenting complex topics in an accessible and engaging way for a broad audience, using appropriate tools and communication methods
K_K05 think and act in an entrepreneurial manner
K_K06 carry out research and implementation work in a professional and ethical manner
K_K07 promote reliable research practices in academic and business environments, placing particular emphasis on upholding and improving ethical standards, respecting the dignity of research participants, ensuring ML algorithm transparency, and recognizing the social responsibility of implementing new technologies
