3.00 or AK/PSYC 3145 3.00.

3260 3.00A (F) COGNITION (EVENING COURSE)

Instructor: V. GOEL

THURS. 7:00 – 10:00pm Office: 332 BSB

Prerequisite: PSYC 1010 6.00 or AK/PSYC 2410 6.00, with a minimum grade of C. Course Credit Exclusions: AK/PSYC 3135 3.00, GL/PSYC 3370 3.00.

General Description: This will be a basic course in the cognitive structures and processes involved in

perception, memory, language, thinking, reasoning and problem-solving. We will motivate and explicate the cognitive paradigm, discuss data from the various domains and examine the models that have been advanced to account for the data. This section will have a cognitive science bias.

Requirements: The grades will be determined from three in-class tests, one written assignment and

class participation.

Access Specifications: Most spaces are reserved for psychology majors/minors and some for students

in cognitive science.

3260 3.00B (F) COGNITION

Instructor: N. PARK

THURS. 2:30 – 5:30 Office: 213 BSB

Prerequisite: PSYC 1010 6.00 or AK/PSYC 2410 6.00, with a minimum grade of C. Course Credit Exclusions: AK/PSYC 3135 3.00, GL/PSYC 3370 3.00.

General Description: This course will examine a range of cognitive processes and will consider the

experimental evidence that has helped to guide the development of theoretical formulations of how people perceive, understand, store, retrieve and act on information. We will examine different

conceptualizations of cognition and review experimental evidence from cognitively unimpaired and patient populations. Laboratory and/or classroom demonstrations will be conducted in order to clarify the

methods, findings and theories under discussion. During these demonstrations, students will act as research participants and will provide data for analysis. Each session is intended to be interesting, challenging and (we hope) enjoyable for you. In addition, material presented in class—from lectures, films, and research demonstrations—will be included on the exams. It is your responsibility to find out what you missed. Thus, it is to your benefit to come to every class and to borrow notes from a fellow student when you do have to miss a class.

Requirements: There will be two exams: one mid-term during scheduled class sessions and a final

exam. The final exam will cover all of the course material. The structure of the exams will be a

combination of multiple-choice and short-answer questions. The mid-term counts for 40% and the final counts for 60% of your final grade.

3265 3.00M (W) MEMORY

Instructor: N. PARK

THURS. 2:30 – 5:30 Office: 213 BSB

Prerequisite: PSYC 1010 6.00 or AK/PSYC 2410 6.00, with a minimum grade of C.

Course Credit Exclusions: AK/PSYC 3130 3.00 (before Summer 2002), GL/PSYC 3390 3.00. General Description: This course will examine a range of memory processes and will consider the

experimental evidence that has helped to guide the development of theoretical formulations of how people perceive, understand, store, retrieve and act on information. We will examine different

conceptualizations of memory and review experimental evidence from cognitively unimpaired and patient populations. Laboratory and/or classroom demonstrations will be conducted in order to clarify the

methods, findings and theories under discussion. During these demonstrations, students will act as research participants and will provide data for analysis.

Class Format: The three-hour class period will encompass some combination of lecture, activities and

breaks. Depending on the number of topics covered in a given lecture and the mood of the class, we will sometimes have a single 15-minute break in the middle; other times, there will be two 10-minute breaks. Class attendance is important. Each session is intended to be interesting, challenging and (we hope) enjoyable for you. In addition, material presented in class—from lectures, films and research demonstrations—will be included on the exams. It is your responsibility to find out what you missed. Thus, it is to your benefit to come to every class and to borrow notes from a fellow student when you do have to miss a class.

Requirements: There will be two exams: one mid-term during scheduled class sessions and an exam

during the final exam period. The final exam will include all of the term’s work. The structure of the exams will be a combination of multiple-choice and short-answer questions. The mid-term exam counts for 40%, and the final counts for 60% of your final grade.
