Description
Conduct, analyse and understand cognitive psychology experiments
Cognitive psychology is the scientific study of internal mental processes. On this 3-week course, you will be introduced to two key areas of cognitive psychology: reasoning and thinking, and mental imagery.
Explore cognitive psychology as an experimental science
You’ll begin by studying how the mind works and learning why cognitive psychology is an experimental science. From the psychology of thinking and reasoning to the psychology of imagination and visual thinking, you’ll gain a strong introduction to cognitive psychology.
We’ll discuss how to measure the mind and think like a scientist before exploring the numerical rule and confirmation bias.
Learn to build experiments and discover mental rotation and mental imagery
In the second week, you’ll learn how to run an experiment, collect data, and understand the science behind memory and behaviour through experiments.
You’ll also learn how to carry out memory studies, after exploring the notion of mental imagery and how it can inform us about the inner workings of the mind.
Finally, you’ll delve into experimental work on mental maps, mental scanning and mental rotation.
