Cognition

Catalog description

The course covers two aspects. a) The main theoretical models that explain how the mind works will be discussed and reviewed in light of the supporting/disconfirming data. The models discussed are the product of the interaction and integration of several areas of investigation: experimental psychology, neuropsychology, computer science, neurobiology and philosophy. The specific contribution of each area will be discussed. b) Some of the most recent studies on memory will be the topic of in-depth examination and discussion.
