Course/Module description:
How do we process information? What underlies the way we experience the world around us? What are the processes by which we allocate attention, remember, imagine, understand language, or decide to take the course "Cognitive Processes"? While these intriguing questions are still far from being understood, attempting to resolve the great mystery of human cognition yields fascinating research. This course describes theories, research methods and empirical evidence regarding mental processes and structures underlying cognitive functions such as attention, categorization, memory, language, decision making, and rationality.
