BBE302: Comparative Cognition |
This unit takes an evolutionary perspective on the most amazing thing to arise in the universe: the mind. Course materials include lectures full of colourful slides and intellectually stimulating themes. Cognition and learning across the animal kingdom are traced, with topics including perception and attention, learning, discrimination and classification, memory, getting around, learning from others, figuring out other minds, and communication. The course then ponders the human mind, in three topics: visual perception, thinking, and morality. It culminates in some reflections on current human society. A course that is at once rigorous, absorbing, and pertinent to current human life.
