An Introduction to Cognitive NeuroScience

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

Cognitive Science is an interdisciplinary effort to uncover the relationships between brains, minds, and behaviour. This 12 week module will provide a selective look into a number of topics which are central to Cognitive Science. Starting with a historical overview of these relationships, the module will go on to look at topics in the study of language, learning, perception, action, and consciousness. Each topic will be addressed from a variety of theoretical standpoints. In addition, the module will serve as a sampling of the material available through the taught masters programme in cognitive science.
