PSY 4200 - Cognition (3)


Prerequisites: PSY 2100  or PSY 2130  and PSY 3300 . This course introduces students to concepts, theories, methods, and applications of cognition, or higher mental processes. Cognition deals with how people acquire, represent, and use information. We review the history of cognition, basic research, theory, and its applications in several areas of society. Understanding the nature of cognition also helps us understand people’s adaptive and mal-adaptive behaviors. The course involves laboratory experiences using online activities present in CogLab. Topics include perception, attention, memory, imagery, thinking, language acquisition, and problem solving.
