Introduction to Phycology
Course Description:
This course provides an introduction to the scientific study of human behavior and mental processes. We will explore topics such as perceptual organization, information processing, cognitive development, relationships between sensory analysis, perception, memory, evolution, genetics, research methods in behavioral neuroscience, and lifespan development. By the end of this course, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of phycology and its applications.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the fundamentals of phycology
- Analyze the relationship between sensory analysis and perception
- Examine how memory is affected by phycological processes
- Explore evolutionary and genetic influences on behavior
- Learn about research methods in behavioral neuroscience
- Evaluate cognitive development across the lifespan
- Develop an understanding of the perceptual organization
- Analyze information processing within phycological contexts
- Demonstrate knowledge of how phycology applies to everyday life scenarios
- Synthesize all concepts learned throughout the course into a comprehensive understanding of phycology
