This course enables students to develop a basic understanding of computational models in the study of human judgment, decision making and cognition. After this course students can describe why we use computational models of cognition and behavior, they will be able to list prominent models and some of their criticisms and weaknesses. Moreover, they will be capable of programming and understanding simple and more advanced computational models in mathematical notation and code.

After covering the main ideas of using computational models and preparing technical prerequisites, we will learn how to interpret models with tools like simulations and how to fit models to data.

All lectures, materials, and assignments are in English. The number of participants is limited. The registration will take place via the Campus portal.

Participation is limited to 15 participants. Registration via the campus portal is required for the course.  If too many students register, students in higher semesters are selected first.
