Cognitive psychology is the study of how we gather, organize, and use information. Students in this course learn how the mind works (and sometimes fails to work) by exploring topics such as the neural bases for cognition, object recognition, attention, memory, decision making, and problem solving. An understanding of factors that influence how people think is fundamental to many careers within and outside of the cognitive sciences, including but not limited to education, law, business management, and marketing.
