DESCRIPTION
Three themes, considered from the vantage points of cognitive, biological, social and developmental psychology, will be explored in this module. Firstly, how we gather and process information from the world around us, which covers perception and attention processes; secondly, how we use this information to act in the world, which focusses on how we learn from the information that we have gathered from our environment; and thirdly, how we remember what we have experienced, which deals with the cognitive and biological processes that underlie memory and the influence of socio-cultural experiences on memory. Theoretical, conceptual and historical issues will be considered as relevant throughout.
