Theoretical foundations and current controversies in cognitive science will be discussed. Basic issues in cognition--including perception, imagery, memory, categorization, thinking, judgment, and development--will be considered from the perspectives of philosophy, psychology, computer science, and physiology. Particular emphasis will be placed on the nature, implications, and limitations of the computational model of mind.

***Due to a system glitch in the enrollment software campus uses, cross-listed classes in the Psychology department will be handled differently moving forward. Instead of the regular Phase I class setup of open seats (reserved for Psych majors) and a waitlist (for all other students), ALL seats in Phase I will be on the waitlist.
At the end of Phase I, Psychology students will be prioritized and enrolled into the class.
As in other semesters, Psychology will make additional seats available in Phase II for all students. If you make it on the waitlist (Phase I or II), there is a very good chance you will get into the class barring conflicts, holds, and unit cap maximums. show less
