Werner Krause (Jena, 2019)

Werner Krause (born May 1, 1938 in Riesa ) is a German graduate engineer and professor of general psychology . He is identified as a Klix student .

Career

Werner Krause was born in Riesa in Saxony as the son of the employee Erich Krause and his wife, the secretary Margarethe Krause, née. Kautz, born. After attending elementary school from 1944 to 1952 and then secondary school in Riesa, he passed his Abitur here in 1956 .

This was followed by studies at the Technical University of Ilmenau (then University of Electrical Engineering) in the fields of “Medical Electronics and Radiological Technology” (major) and “Theoretical Physics” (minor). In 1962 he finished his studies as a graduate engineer (Dipl.-Ing.). The Ilmenau training in the new field of medical electronics had already gained a good reputation at this time, and it became one of the profile-defining roots in 1968 when the section "Technical and Biomedical Cybernetics" was founded (TBK founding director Karl Reinisch ).

Werner Krause started his career as a research assistant at the “Brain Research Institute” at Karl Marx University Leipzig (KMU) and then at the “Psychological Institute” at Humboldt University Berlin (HUB) under the direction of Friedhart Klix . At the HUB in 1969 he received his doctorate as Dr. rer. nat.

He then moved to the newly founded "Central Institute for Cybernetics and Information Processes" (ZKI founding director: Horst Völz , then Volker Kempe ) of the German Academy of Sciences in Berlin (DAW), which has been called the Academy of Sciences since the academy was reformed in 1972 the GDR (AdW) wore. Here Werner Krause was initially a subject manager and later a department head of the “Problem-Solving Processes” department within the “Basics of Cybernetics”, “Artificial Intelligence” and “Psychology” departments of the ZKI founded by Friedhart Klix. During this time Werner Krause completed his habilitation in 1978 at the HUB as Dr. sc. nat.

In 1987 he was appointed full professor to the chair of "General Psychology II" at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena . From 1990 to 1992 he was dean of the Faculty of Social and Behavioral Sciences. When Werner Krause reached retirement age, he retired in 2003 .

Werner Krause has been married to Ursula Krause, who holds a doctorate in medicine , since 1962 and lives in Jena , the couple has two grown daughters.

Research activity

For many years, Werner Krause's basic work focused on a special research focus:

Thinking and memory from a scientific point of view

  • Thinking as order formation within the framework of the elementary analysis of human information processing: (together with Erdmute Sommerfeld , Gundula Seidel, Bärbel Schack, Frank Heinrich, Uwe Kotkamp, ​​Mauricio Parra and Li Zhang)
    • Quantification of thinking skills by means of entropy reduction in Germany and China
    • Verification of basic components in thinking such as simplicity, invariance and double representation
    • Development of measurement methods for measuring cognitive structures in thinking
  • Diagnostics of mental processes and services based on the elementary analysis of human information processing and computer-aided diagnosis of neurological-psychiatric diseases (together with Philippus Mirtschink, Martin Grunwald, Steffen Theilemann and Lothar Sprung ).
