COMPUTATIONAL COGNITIVE SCIENCE

PSYCH 733

Current approaches to perceptual and cognitive sciences.

COMPSCI/ECE 760

Computational approaches to learning: including inductive inference, explanation-based learning, analogical learning, connectionism, and formal models. What it means to learn. Algorithms for learning. Comparison and evaluation of learning algorithms. Cognitive modeling and relevant psychological results.

PSYCH 414

How people perceive, learn, remember, plan, solve problems, make decisions, and communicate. The main approach is psychological but will also consider contributions from computer science, linguistics, and neurobiology.

PSYCH 720

Provides a broad overview of principles that underlie our understanding of how the structure and function of the brain give rise to cognition and intelligent behavior, and of the methods with which cognitive neuroscience research is carried out. The content covered can be summarized as neuroscience with direct implications for understanding the neural bases of human behavior, and will include anatomical, cellular, systems, behavioral, neuropsychological, and computational levels of analysis. The emphasis will be on domains of behavior traditionally covered by cognitive psychology and neurology, but with explicit consideration, when applicable, of implications for understanding affect, social behavior, and psychopathology.

PSYCH 752

Introduction to computational approaches in machine learning for the behavioral sciences.
