PSY 288 S - Cognition & Perception

Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 4
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4

In this course, we will explore the neural processes underlying cognitive functions such as attention, reasoning, imagery, language, problem solving, sensation, and perception. We will examine these phenomena in the context of the evolution of the cognitive system in the natural world, and the physiological mechanisms that enable them. Within the body of this course, we will understand Cognitive Science as a foundational laboratory science, and we will cover many theoretical and empirical approaches to Cognitive Science, with a focus on Perception. This course will provide students with knowledge and experience in the theories and techniques that are the foundations of experimental psychology and our understanding of the basic functional properties of the human brain.

Offered Fall
