Course description

Psychology is the scientific study of how people behave, think and feel. This course spans a variety of topics including psychological processes such as perception, attention, learning, memory, and decision-making, as well as the cognitive and brain-based (neural) causes of these phenomena. Students will be given opportunities to participate in both classic and state-of-the-art psychological research and will gain an understanding of the research process to study both the mental and neural causes of human behaviour.Note: Students who have already completed PSYC1020 do not need to enrol in NEUR1020. If PSYC1020 was completed under a different program, apply for credit in NEUR1020.
