Course Description:
The first set of lectures in this module will provide a broad introduction to the field of experimental cognitive psychology and give a brief historical overview of the development of the discipline. Those lectures will also consider the nature of perception from a cognitive point of view and provide insights into some basic facts about visual cognition. They will introduce various key things that cognitive psychologists have discovered about effective learning and memory. The second set of lectures in the module will examine the processes through which one of our primary senses (hearing) gains and interprets information about our world. Those lectures will cover the fundamental properties of the sense of hearing: How our ears decode sounds; how we perceive the pitch of sounds; how we work out where sounds are coming from; and what goes wrong when someone loses their hearing and what we can do about it.
