COURSE DESCRIPTION

Psychology 3525 is an upper-level Psychology course aimed at undergraduates who have an understanding of basic psychological principles.This course provides an introduction to the basic issues of human memory and theories about how it works, succeeds, and fails. This course will examine the neuroscience of memory as well as the many proposed types of memory including: sensory, short-term, working, long-term, episodic, semantic, and autobiographical. We will also discuss the relationships between memory and reality, memory and development, as well as memory and amnesia. Through an integration of lectures, discussions, and interactive demonstrations, this course will focus on fundamental phenomena and basic literature in learning and memory within the context of both animal and human research. Major topics include habituation, the physiological bases of learning and memory, classical and instrumental conditioning, information processing, short- and long- term memory, concept learning, explicit and implicit learning, and individual differences in learning and memory.
