Behaviour and Cognition (BeCog)

About

The focus of this study programme is on the foundations and the evolution of non-human and human primate behaviour. Research projects are undertaken in the fields of psychology, anthropology, cognitive sciences and evolutionary biology, with an emphasis on comparative approaches. Core areas are the evolution of social behaviour, group behaviour and group coordination, developmental psychology, as well as the cognitive, neurobiological, and physiological foundations of behaviour. The programme is run by the Faculty of Biology and Psychology of the University of GÃ¶ttingen and is supported by the German Primate Center.
