Attention

Three credits · Undergraduate

Attention is the gateway to awareness and action. In this course, students will review core concepts in human attention and will be introduced to applied aspects of attention (e.g., magic and attention, improving detection in applied visual searches such as medical scans or airport security). Behavioral and neuroscientific methods that have been used to isolate and reveal the components of attention will be reviewed. Credit will be granted for only one of PSYC 321 or PSYC 387(2024-2026). Prerequisites: PSYC 291, 292. Three credits.
