Course Description
The course deals with mental processes such as sensation, perception, learning and memory, linguistic functions, higher mental processes such as reasoning and abstraction and executive functions. Processes are discussed at the behavioral level within a framework of information processing. Practical applications at everyday living, education and working environments are discussed. The course aims to provide the students with a brief introduction towards carrying out mental processes; how perceptual information enters the mind, how attention is used to select from the array of available incoming sensory information, how knowledge is organized in memory, how new information is added to memory, how information is retrieved from memory, and how information is conveyed to others through language.
