NEANDERTAL COGNITION OFFERED ONLINE NOW AT THE CENTER FOR COGNITIVE ARCHAEOLOGY @ UCCS

How did Neandertals experience their world? How did their cognition and culture differ from ours? Were they pragmatic? Callous or cold-hearted? Did they love, were they charitable? Were they tough? Dogmatic? Xenophobic?

Join Karenleigh A. Overmann for our online course Neandertal Cognition. Together, we will explore the mind of some of our recent ancestors to compare and contrast similarities and differences between our behavior and the behavior of these archaic humans. After a century of suffering the negative biases of early scholars, Neandertals are emerging from the shadows of prehistory to take their rightful place as explorers and innovators who fought to survive in a heretofore uninhabitable clime. Our course reviews the archaeological evidence via empirical models of cognition in an effort to understand the cognitive and behavioral strategies employed by Homo neanderthalensis during their nearly half million years of existence. Classes begin June 12 and end August 4.

Visit us at the Center for Cognitive Archaeology for more information on classes. The deadline to register for courses is June 19, 2023. For registration information, please visit: https://lases.uccs.edu/programs-a-l/cca

COGNITIVE EVOLUTION NOW OFFERED ONLINE AT THE CENTER FOR COGNITIVE EVOLUTION @ UCCS

When, where, and how did the modern human mind evolve?

Join Karenleigh A. Overmann for our online course in Cognitive Evolution. This course employs the theories and methods of several academic domains (cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, archaeology, linguistics, philosophy of mind, etc.) to interpret the tangible evidence for the evolution of mindā€”non-human primate anatomy and behavior, human neuroanatomy, hominin paleontology, and archaeology. Here, you will explore the origins and adaptive purposes of concept formation, spatial cognition, social cognition, language, symbolic structures, technology, and working memory on your way to a deeper understanding of the evolutionary changes in form and function of the mind. Classes begin June 12 and end August 4.

Visit us at the Center for Cognitive Archaeology for more information on classes. The deadline to register for courses is June 19, 2023. For information on registration, please visit: https://www.uccs.edu/lases/programs-a-l/cca

NEUROCOGNITION OF ART NOW OFFERED ONLINE AT THE CENTER FOR COGNITIVE ARCHAEOLOGY @ UCCS

Interested in learning when, where, and how modern human aesthetics evolved?

Join Professor Manuel MartĆ­n-Loeches of the Complutense University of Madrid for our online course Neurocognition of Art. This course explores the biopsychological basis of human artistic behavior by investigating its neurocognitive and biological underpinnings. We expand our understanding of this otherwise bizarre activity in natural terms, thereby contextualizing art within the framework of Natural Selection. This approach provides a suitable foundation for exploring the possible evolutionary origins of art, its development, as well as its major milestones along human evolution. Although the course is mainly focused in visual art, much of its content can be applied to other forms of artistic behavior. Classes begin June 12 and end August 4.
