Cognitive Science 0165 - Experimental Psychology

This course will be an in-depth introduction to the field of experimental psychology. Not only will we cover many of the major topics within psychology (such as learning, sensation, perception, language, and memory), but we will also examine how scientific methodology is incorporated into our observations of these phenomena. Students will be expected to write short weekly reaction papers, will occasionally be required to interpret quantitative data, and will write a final paper on a topic of their choosing.
