PSYCHOLOGY 161 - Seminar in Decision Making and Memory

Institution:

Claremont McKenna College

Subject:

Description:

Cook We live in an uncertain world, and so we often make decisions based on uncertainty. This course is an analysis of the human decision-making process with an emphasis on how memory influences that process. The course will provide a framework for understanding decision making by appealing to classical theories of decision making, memory theories, heuristics and biases, and statistics. Although the individual as a decision maker is the focus of this course, group decision making and the social influences of individual decision making will be discussed. Prerequisites: Psychology 109, 110-111 (or concurrent enrollment) or permission of instructor. Offered every other year.
