ANIMAL COGNITION

PSYCH 515

With intricate cultures, impressive technology, and layered social lives, humans seem to stand apart from their animal kin. However, humans and non-human animals share many aspects of their mental lives, and, upon closer inspection, some animals even reveal cognitive abilities far beyond the capacities of humans. Through comparing and contrasting human and non-human cognition, learn about human psychological uniqueness and its evolutionary origins, and fundamental properties of cognitive processes in general.

ESSENTIALS OF COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE

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.

LANGUAGE AND CULTURE

ANTHRO/LINGUIS 430

The relationship of language as a communication system to the culture transmitted by it. Principle problems in the interrelations of language and nonlinguistic human behavior.

CULTURAL PSYCHOLOGY

PSYCH 528

Societies are shaped by the people, places, and environments that surround us. Examine the ways that culture and individual psychology make each other up, including how we think about ourselves, how we attend to and reason about the world, how we think about those like us and unlike us, and how these beliefs, attitudes, and cognitions are shared and maintained across groups.

COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY

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.
