In Lecture 2, we first learn about an important notion of the cognitive trail, which actually is our way of thinking. The trail means that is has its origin in our personal life history and reflects our way to think and make decisions.

Then, professor Alava builds the link from behavior to values via cognition using a model called 'the onion' developed by a researcher Curry. We know that values are deeply rooted in ourselves, but we need also to realize that values affect a lot to our behavior.
