Class Description:
Welcome! Cognitive psychologists explore the nature of cognitive processes such as attention, memory, concept, reasoning, perception, and language processing. Our goal is to understand how the mind works, and how the brain works to produce such a mind. This course will introduce you to some of the major tools, assumptions, and theories from a cognitive and cognitive-neuroscience perspective, and expose you to some of the more important results obtained thus far. Student evaluation from past years has been overwhelmingly positive.
