SS 465 - Cognitive Psychology3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
Have you ever wondered: What is the mind? How has it evolved? How does it change over the lifespan? How does it manage the extraordinary achievements of day-to-day living? What happens when something in the mind goes wrong? The science of Cognitive Psychology answers these questions by exploring how the human mind processes information. Some major topics in this class include: perception, attention, memory, imagery, language, problem solving, and decision making. This course examines some of the basic theories about what makes the human mind special, and why we think the way we do. (prereq: none)
