Social Cognition

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

How does the way our mind works, the nuts and bolts of our thinking, affect how we make sense of ourselves, our connection to others, and society at large? Social cognition researchers address these questions by examining how basic cognitive and neuroscientific processes affect our sense of self and how we behave towards those we deem similar or different from us. Taking this class will enable you to understand and apply fundamental concepts, theoretical frameworks, and behavioural and neuroscientific research in social cognition to real-world issues.
