Re: Understanding theoretical perspectives in cognitive science systems thinking

Note: Generally, course goals shall remain constant throughout the course. There is an exception. By request or suggestion, a new and particular topic shall be introduced regularly to keep the course fresh as it proceeds. The current topic is http://exaptation.bravehost.com  In terms of General System Theory, the goal of understanding exaptation would relate to equifinality. See the course support website on exaptation for definitions.

General Course Description:

1.) Theory Learning Goals:

a.) Understanding theoretical perspectives in cognitive science systems thinking,and change beginning with a management orientation approach and leading into theorietical orientations.  The course is in exploration of complex systems thinking (including Symbolic Systems) in Cognitive Science as compared and contrasted to the General Systems Theory. Google Complexity Theory for details! http://www.google.com

b.) Assessment and appraisal of scholarly research and writing in general, specific, relative and universal areas of psychology using General Systems Theory as an extended description for cognition.

**************************
**************************

2.) Pragmatic Learning Goals:

a.) General application of psychological theory in cognitive science and General systems theory.

b.) Specific cases are welcome. Reflection on application of theory and design methodology in theoretical research and action research including practical investigation of ideas, norms, and change strategies in Cognitive Science and in General systems theory.

A number of course support websites are offered (below). The support websites is where the information of the course is stored.
