As you explore the basic cognitive processes of perception, attention, and memory, you’ll see that all human beings—even highly intelligent and motivated ones—have limited cognition. Moreover, our perceptions are limited by our expectations, our current context, and even our cultural background.
By learning with Prof. Galotti, you’ll benefit from her cutting-edge research on cognition, which has been supported by the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and the Spencer Foundation. Best of all, you’ll leave this course with practical, easy-to-apply ways to improve your thinking, reasoning, and decision making.
