Cognition and Psychopathology

Undergraduate

is an introduction to the study of how cognitive mechanisms contribute to psychopathology. We will examine how processes such as memory, attention, and cognitive control can support healthy functioning and contribute to symptoms when they break down. Topics will include suppression-induced forgetting, intrusive memories, and other forms of memory control, and their relevance to disorders. The course emphasizes the experimental paradigms and theoretical models that allow us to link cognitive science with clinical phenomena.
