Mindreading (ang.)

The aim of the course is to show the neurobiological and psychological basis of social interaction and communication, and the problems that are brought about by the disruption of basic mechanisms of empathy and intersubjectivity (autism, schizophrenia). Mindreading - knowledge of minds, empathy and intersubjectivity is presented as a natural phenomenon and explained based on research in the field of neurological sciences. The student will gain information on the development of these skills in children (developmental psychology, false belief test), animals (ethology) and a number of studies in the field of neurobiology, neurocognitive science, social psychology and psychopathology.

Issues:

1. folk psychology (theory and simulation theories),

2. false belief test

3. developmental psychology and autism,

4. Mirror system and mirror neurons,

5. the problem of empathy,

6. intersubjectivity and solipsism,
