Syllabus:

This course builds on Foundations of Perception (PSYCHOL 2006) to explore advanced topics in the study of perception, applied cognition, concepts and categories, and language. The lectures will examine important issues related to language and cognition in both theoretical and applied contexts including the ways our brains process sensory information from our environment (and what happens when these processes are disrupted), how we mentally represent the world around us, and how technology can change our cognition for better and for worse outcomes. The course develops critical thinking skills by encouraging students to engage with and evaluate primary sources. Through tutorials and self-directed learning activities, students will learn research methods and skills in these subject areas. By delving into the complexities of perception and cognition, students will gain a deeper understanding of how we experience, navigate, and operate in, the world around us.
