In addition to providing an introduction to leading theories and empirical findings, the course also includes some applications, in areas such as repressed memories, eyewitness testimony and aging. Counts toward the neuroscience major (behavioral track). Prerequisite: Psychology 100 or 101; if taken for laboratory credit, Psychology 205.
