Empirical Investigations of Situated Cognition
Abstract
The third cohort of PhDs has successfully started their projects in our Research Training Group ‘Situated Cognition’. Now, the PhDs are ready to give insights into their projects and research in more detail. Starting out with a workshop focused on the empirical investigations within situated cognition, our PhDs present their work and are joined by our highly regarded keynote speakers. Alice Auersperg, Sam Wass, and Tobias Meilinger give us their perspective on questions such as how problems are solved in non-human animals, what developmental trajectories can tell us about later cognitive abilities or how cognition differs when in virtual versus real space. This first workshop will cover current trends and topics in the fields of Animal Cognition, Developmental Psychology, and Virtual Reality. In order to continuously learn more about structural injustice at university and to foster a diverse and equal environment, we have also invited Anna Welpinghus to give a workshop as well as talk.
