This course introduces the core themes of cognitive
psychology, the subdiscipline that seeks to discover and
understand processes of human thought. The focus will be on
how we acquire and use information and knowledge. We will
first trace the path that shaped cognitive psychology into
what it is today, then discuss contemporary theories and
data concerning how information (knowledge) is encoded,
stored, and utilized when we perceive, remember, think, and
solve problems.
