PY 4300 - Cognition


(3)
This course investigates how ordinary minds acquire, store, retrieve, and use the information and knowledge that sustains mental life. Several memory systems, mental processes and mental phenomenon are explored, as is attention, perception, problem-solving, thinking, conceptual structure, creativity, and language. Demonstrative findings and methodologies from cognitive neuroscience inform how the brain enables mind and reveal how exploration of non-ordinary minds facilitates our primary investigation.

Prerequisite: PY 3100  or PY 3110 .
