PSY246: Cognitive Processes I
The study of cognition includes mechanisms of attention, psycholinguistics, category and concept representation and short- and long-term memory for words, sentences, prose and scenes. The unit will examine empirical findings and theories in these areas. The main topics discussed in psycholinguistics are visual word recognition and skilled reading. Although the focus of the unit is on normal cognition, disorders of cognitive processes will also be considered.
