Formål

In the evaluation of the student's performance, special emphasis is placed on the extent to which the student:

• masters the basic concepts and theories of cognitive semiotics;
• is familiar with the basic concepts of meaning creation (such as schemas, frame, metaphorical mappings, blending);
• is familiar with the relationship between bodily/perceptual experience and linguistic meaning structures;
• is able to analyse actual meaning phenomena whether perceptive or linguistic;
• is able to structure own material logically and express himself/herself clearly.

Indhold

This course treats aspects of the individual's cognition: perception, attention, imagery, imagination, memory, and the relation between perception and motor behaviour. We will lay stress on the neurological foundation of the different cognitive faculties and certain neurobiological models will be presented, such as the theory of mirror neurons. We will also lay stress on the connection between the different cognitive faculties and language.
