Course Description
This course provides an advanced evaluation of psychological knowledge on creative cognition. Students explore the core theoretical and methodological issues in the scientific study of human creativity and imagination. They develop a critical assessment of experimental studies of human innovation, including conceptual combination, category expansion, the creation of alternatives to reality in adulthood, and the role of pretence in childhood. They formulate rigorous evaluations of experimental investigations of human insight, analogy, scientific discovery, and imagery.

Course Description
This course is concerned with theoretical (psychological) and empirical perspectives on human reasoning and decision making. Reasoning involves making deductive or inductive inferences and judging them according to current goals, beliefs, and knowledge. Decision making refers to choosing between alternatives (e.g. different mental models). Both topics are of central importance to humans and even though some seem to reason better than others or their decisions seem more sound, thinking remains an important and for some uniquely human feature. Studying humans' thought (both reasoning and decision making) belongs to the field of Cognitive Psychology. Like most topics studied by psychologists, both reasoning and decision making include a wide range of explanatory models that emphasize different aspects of human thought. Eleven topics of the (cognitive) psychology of reasoning and decision making are discussed using a Problem Based Learning format. The topics are: hypothetical reasoning, the mental imagery-debate, the psychology of decision making, Signal Detection Theory and vigilance, emotions and reasoning, emotions and decision making (the Somatic Marker hypothesis), subliminal perception, deductive and inductive reasoning (heuristics and biases) and socio-economical decision making (pro-social behavior: risk and trust). Prerequisites are: Introduction to Psychology, Artificial Intelligence, and at least two intermediate level courses.

Course Description
This module is generally a literature review, but can also be a minor empirically oriented project. Project topics are within the area of knowledge about the structure and function of the brain, and key areas of modern cognitive psychology, such as attention, memory, language, and cognitive control, as well as emotions and social interaction. The understanding of normal function is the primary focus of the course, but clinical examples are also used, as they provide substantial illustrations of normal functioning. Furthermore, the course provides students with knowledge of relevant research methods within the area, and major emphasis is placed on the interdisciplinary nature of the subject. The teaching consists of lectures, demonstrations, laboratory exercises, and seminars.

Course Description
The course provides a framework for independent, in-depth study of current research literature on evolutionary approaches to psychology. Evolution is a powerful but problematic theory in science, as evolutionary theory is considered by some to be untestable, and by others to have undesirable but unavoidable political and moral consequences, especially when applied to human social behavior. This course considers theories in evolutionary biology of social behavior (natural selection, sexual selection, kin selection, reciprocity, and parental investment), the contemporary issues in the subject area, and the role of empirical evidence in the formation of theory.
