Stephen R. Schmidt, Ph. D Office Hrs. Psychology 404 provides a survey of the fundamental concepts and current issues in human cognition. The topic is approached from a human information processing perspective.
Emphasis is placed on a theoretical treatment of the cognitive processes of normal humans.
The discussion includes the experimental methodologies with which cognitive processes are studied. Each test will cover lecture and textbook material presented since the previous test. Details concerning the research paper will be given later in the semester. Lectures will supplement textbook material, not merely cover it again. Thus regular class attendance is expected.
