This course will introduce you to the theory, research and methods underlying modern cognitive psychology. Content is examined across three overarching domains: (1) fundamental considerations; (2) cognitive functionality; and (3) applied concepts. Topics include cognitive processes (e.g., memory, attention, perception) as well as more complex concepts, such as language, intelligence, risky decision making and cognitive decline. Where necessary specific sub topics may be selected to illustrate the major topic areas, for example cognitive deficits may be illustrated by discussing mental health conditions.
