PSYC 373 Applied Cognitive Psychology (3)

From fake news and first impressions to moral decisions and intuitions, cognitive functioning affects our everyday behaviors and emotions. In this course, we will explore complex cognitive processes like curiosity, persuasion, remorse, and bias, using an empirical lens to understand how these processes drive our actions. We will read from the primary literature, explore opposing viewpoints, and debate the merits of the scientific methodology used to explore higher order intellectual function. In the process, we will consider ways to use cognitive science to enhance personal and collective outcomes. 
Prerequisite(s): PSYC 103 , PSYC 211  and PSYC 220  (or PSYC 250 ), PSYC 215
