Learning objectives

GENERAL OBJECTIVES:
- Understand the known principles underlying the processes of thinking, reasoning, problem solving and decision making that guide the behavior of individuals and groups.
- Apply the known principles underlying the processes of thinking, reasoning, problem solving and decision making that guide the behavior of individuals and groups.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:
The course will consider the main theories of thinking and reasoning, including logical, probabilistic, and analogical reasoning. A significant part of the course will be dedicated to the study of research related to cognitive biases and decision making, referring to theories and models on the automatic vs reflective functions of thinking activity. The teaching has the following specific training objectives:
- understand the known principles underlying the processes of thinking, reasoning, problem solving, and decision making that guide the behavior of individuals and groups;
- apply the known principles underlying the processes of thinking, reasoning, problem solving, and decision making that guide the behavior of individuals and groups;
- analyze the differences between human thinking and algorithmic processes.
