Overview
Throughout the Introduction to emotional and social embodied cognition course offered by University of Cambridge you will explore the key theories and findings on emotions and social embodied cognition, the key methods to measure our ability to understand the feelings of others. We will focus on the main theories of embodiment and hypotheses, and on how researchers investigate and address them.
This will include the main experimental designs, behavioural and neuroimaging methods adopted. This course will show that psychology is not just about the mind; it will introduce participants to the idea that our mind is rooted in our body and that perhaps it is time to move on from this dichotomy.
By studying this week, the students should have:
- become familiar with navigating around the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) and from VLE to links and back
- test your ability to access files and the web conferencing software and sort out any problems with the help of the Technology Enhanced Learning team
- learn how to look for, assess and reference internet resources
- contribute to a discussion forum to introduce yourself to other students and discuss why you are interested in the course and what you hope to get out of your studies
