Central Topics in Situated Cognition
Conference for Three Generations RTG ‘Situated Cognition’
Abstract
Our Research Training Group ‘Situated Cognition’ has now started its third and last training generation of twelve new PhD students, with the second cohort simultaneously finalizing their projects. At this unique point in time, we would like to unite all three generations of PhDs together with many current, former and future members and collaborators, both internal and external. This includes our highly regarded keynote speakers: Louise Barrett, Joel Krueger, Peter König, and Heidi Maibom covering topics like situated affectivity, agency, perspectivism, social cognition and the interaction of neuroscience and AI.
Central Topics
- Situated affectivity
- Situated agency
- Situated clinical psychology
- Philosophy of science on the situated mind
- Situated behavioral neuroscience
