Teaching Workshop: Advanced Philosophical Workshop 4
A.Y. 2022/2023
Learning objectives
L'obiettivo di questo laboratorio è quello di sviluppare le conoscenze di base per contribuire ad una più efficace utilizzo delle proprie risorse cognitive sia in generale, che nel contesto lavorativo, grazie ai più recenti modelli neurocognitivi prodotti dalle neuroscienze dell'attenzione, del controllo cognitivo e del comportamento.
Al termine di questo laboratorio gli studenti avranno appreso le principali teorie, i modelli, e le metodologie utilizzate nell'ambito delle neuroscienze del controllo cognitivo, conoscenze che si aggiungeranno al loro bagaglio professionale aumentando la qualità della loro futura esperienza professionale all'interno di diversi contesti lavorativi.

Expected learning outcomes
The workshop aims to develop the following skills:
Critical thinking skills:
By the end of the workshop, students will display a sufficiently independent critical approach in selecting and interpreting the notions that are most relevant their area of study and to the broader socio-cultural context in which they operate
Communication skills:
By the end of the workshop:
- students will be able to effectively communicate the acquired knowledge and disseminate it to the general public;
- student will have developed basic IT skills concerning knowledge preservation and transfer.
Learning skills:
By the end of the workshop, students will have developed the learning skills required to continue their studies in keeping with their own research interests. In order to meet this objective, students will also develop relevant skills in the independent interpretation of sources and in the use of basic IT tool for bibliographic research.
