Psychology 391EM - S-Event Memory/Life & the Lab

This course will explore episodic (event) memory in both theoretical and ecological terms. We will cover theories of recognition memory and empirical results from the laboratory that have been used to advance these theories. We will also cover research on the brain areas and mechanisms that support event memory. Finally, we will explore the fallibility of memory in real-world settings, especially eyewitness testimony in court cases.

This course is open to PSYCH majors only. Pre Req: PSYCH 240 & 241
