Originally thought of as the \u201cscientific study of knowledge,\u201d cognitive psychology touches on all of the mental processes related to the acquisition, retention, and use of knowledge, including attention, perception, memory, language, problem-solving, and decision making. Given that mental processes are not directly observable, cognitive psychology is based on scientific studies in which participants\u2019 observable behavior is used to infer the structures and limitations of these processes. This course will touch on several major mental processes, introducing you to key theories in each area and the scientific evidence that supports them. At the end of the course, you will have a better understanding of how psychological research contributes to our knowledge of how the human mind works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Over the course of this semester, students will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Understand theories and experimental findings on topics such as perception, attention, memory, reasoning, and decision-making<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Experience classical experiments from cognitive psychology<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Acquire an understanding of research methods and the ability to critically evaluate research<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Apply research in cognitive psychology to everyday events and challenges<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1087,"featured_media":0,"parent":8,"menu_order":3,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"featured_post":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-11","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/bodegaard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/bodegaard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/bodegaard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/bodegaard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1087"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/bodegaard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/bodegaard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":333,"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/bodegaard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11\/revisions\/333"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/bodegaard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/bodegaard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
