PSY 2120 - Memory & Cog in Life

Institution:

University of Utah

Subject:

Psychology

Description:

Have you ever wondered why we remember some events vividly and completely forget others? Or why we sometimes notice tiny details but can also miss things that are very obvious in hindsight? We have an extraordinary array of mental abilities that allow us to learn, remember, and perceive things that we encounter in everyday life. This course is designed to investigate these abilities, how they operate in everyday life, and why they sometimes don't work. To better illustrate how cognition operates in in everyday life, the course includes vivid demonstrations and examples of these abilities.
