Learning & Cognition

Catalog description

The purpose of this course is to increase individual understanding of how the mind/brain function together, learns from and within diverse environments, and creates the phenomenon of self from a myriad of sensory inputs. Throughout the course, we will examine seminal and recent research highlighting the multiple controversies and breakthroughs happening everyday within cognitive and learning science. Growing from within these explorations, we will also work to fashion a research proposal focusing on a topic within human learning and cognition suitable for use in a master's level thesis.
