Course Title:
Memory & the Brain - PSY00045H
Course Number:
PSY00045H
Course Description:
Our memories make us who we are. They allow us to delve into our past and project ourselves into the future. They are also hugely shaped by our emotions, mood, and mental health. How does the brain support something so complex, subjective and personal and why do these processes sometimes go wrong? This module will explore the cognitive neuroscience of long-term memory, with a specific focus on episodic and spatial memory. We will explore this topic from a wide variety of methodologies – from traditional experimental psychology, to neuropsychology, to brain imaging, to electrophysiological recordings. We will discuss how we remember and how we forget, and how these processes can be affected by emotion and mental health.
