APSY 2032 Cognition and Learning
This course will introduce students to what the fields of cognitive, developmental, and educational psychology have to say about how humans learn. This includes comparing and contrasting major theoretical approaches to the study of learning, examining the basic cognitive processes involved in learning (e.g., attention, memory, inhibitory control, problem-solving), and considering how social and biological factors affect these processes. The knowledge gained in this course can be used to maximize individual growth and achievement across a variety of real-life contexts. For instance, it can inform the design of classroom instructional practices, professional training seminars, parenting interventions, community programs, and health initiatives.
