PSYC 270 - Cognitive Psychology

Problem-solving, memory, learning, and patterns of thinking are central to the study of cognitive psychology. Students will read about and conduct experiments that show how it is that human beings have adapted to live in a complex environment. These ideas will be applied to practical questions like how do individuals and groups make decisions? How do we practice good informational hygiene? How can we best learn and adapt to a changing world, and help others do the same?
