Skills Developed:
1. Foundations of Cognitive Psychology: Understand the core principles of cognitive psychology and the role of mental processes in human behavior.
2. Perception: Study how sensory information is processed by the brain and how we perceive the world through vision, hearing, touch, taste, and smell.
3. Attention and Concentration: Learn how attention is directed and maintained, including theories of attention such as selective attention and divided attention.
4. Memory Systems: Explore the different types of memory (e.g., sensory memory, short-term memory, long-term memory) and how information is encoded, stored, and retrieved.
5. Problem-Solving and Decision-Making: Study the cognitive processes involved in solving problems, making decisions, and how biases can influence decision-making.
6. Language Processing: Learn how the brain processes language, including speech production, comprehension, and the neural networks involved in language.
7. Cognitive Development: Understand how cognitive abilities develop across the lifespan, from childhood through adulthood, and the key theories of cognitive development (e.g., Piaget, Vygotsky).
8. Cognitive Neuroscience: Study the brain areas and networks involved in cognitive processes and how neuroimaging techniques contribute to understanding cognition.
9. Memory and Forgetting: Understand how memories are formed, the factors that lead to forgetting, and the strategies used to improve memory retention.
10. Cognitive Aging: Explore how cognitive abilities change with age, including declines in memory, attention, and processing speed, and the factors that contribute to healthy cognitive aging.
11. Cognitive Biases: Study the various cognitive biases that affect thinking, such as confirmation bias, availability heuristic, and anchoring bias, and their impact on decision-making.
12. Executive Functions: Learn about the higher-level cognitive processes such as planning, reasoning, and self-regulation that are involved in goal-directed behavior.
13. Learning and Cognition: Explore how learning influences cognition, including theories such as classical and operant conditioning, and how learning shapes memory and behavior.
