Cognitive Psychology and Methodology
Head: Prof. Dr. Klaus Opwis
Secretariat: Cornelia Witthauer
Cognitive Psychology examines cognitive performance in perception, memory, thinking and decision making, in human speech and comprehension as well as questions on emotion, motivation and action control. The objective is to develop systematic descriptions and models of structures and processes characterising the adult human in terms of general psychological laws. Abstraction from individual characteristics as well as from interindividual differences is therefore needed.
The Lab is furthermore responsible for the teaching in psychological methods. This includes theoretical scientific basics of empirical research and in particular methods in the area of study design, data collection and analysis (statistics). This knowledge is needed for the empirical examination of psychological hypotheses.
