Psychology 349MG - Seminar in Perception and Cognition: 'Imagination'

Our memory systems enable us to imagine things that have never happened or that haven't happened yet. Imagination allows us to flexibly plan for our futures and take new perspectives on our past. As a result, our capacity for imagination contributes to our personal identities and goals as well as our shared sense of history and collective action. In this course, we will investigate imagination and constructive memory processes by discussing and interacting with texts from psychology, neuroscience, history, and documentary.

Prereq: PSYCH-204.
