A Seminar On Memory

Catalog description

This course provides students with an opportunity to examine the centralityof memory in human experience. Using observations from normal and extraordinary people, we will consider three broad questions, First, how doesinformation acquired in the past insinuate itself into a persons’ currentthoughts, feelings and actions? Second, what relation do our current consciousrecollections have to actual past events and experiences? Third, canmemories that operate outside of the awareness affect our sense of the present,past and future state of affairs, and if so, how does this occur?
