PSYC 2272 Cognitive Psychology: Mental Processes and their Neural Substrates
This course is a survey of cognitive psychology, the scientific study of the human mind and human thinking. During the semester we will discuss many different aspects of cognition: perception, attention, memory, language, concepts, reasoning, problem solving, expertise, creativity, and decision making. The emphasis will be on how psychologists have used experiments to help construct theories of how the human mind works and how human thinking occurs.
