1.00 credits · Undergraduate

This course provides a survey of classic and contemporary issues in human memory. Specific topics may include working memory, multiple memory systems, encoding and retrieval processes, familiarity and recollection, forgetting and interference, reconstructive processes, autobiographical memory, affective influences on memory, and applied memory research. The primary focus will be on the experimental literature, but we will also consider cross-cultural, developmental, neuropsychological and cognitive-neuroscience approaches to the study of human memory.
