  • Overview

    Introduction
    This subject provides students with an introduction to research and theory in cognitive psychology. The content examines how information is acquired, processed, stored, and retrieved. The subject explores various aspects of cognitive psychology by introducing students to the theoretical perspectives that purport to explain various phenomena and the empirical literature that underpins these theories, with an aim to develop a critical thinking perspective on issues and findings in cognitive research. The lecture component is designed to provide students with an overview of selected contemporary issues in cognitive psychology, whereas the tutorial laboratories give students experience in how these issues have been investigated empirically.
