Cognitive Psychology II

Three credits · Undergraduate

Cognitive psychology involves the scientific study of the mind and mental processes (perception, attention, memory, language, problem solving, reasoning, and decision making). It is part of cognitive science, an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the human mind. In PSYC 222, we will look at applied memory (flashbulb memory, eyewitness memory, false memory), language, problem-solving, judgment, reasoning, and decision-making. Credit will be granted for only one of PSYC 222 or PSYC 220. Prerequisite: PSYC 221. Three credits and lab.
