Course Syllabus

Abstract

The course reviews the core theories of organization of human thought, general reasoning, thinking, and intelligence, and behavioural outcomes of thinking. These overarching themes provide a broad theoretical framework with which to explore wider issues in human cognition such as decision making, problem-solving, motivation, and creative thinking. These concepts will be related to classical and recent empirical cognitive research. Students will apply these theories to contemporary cases of human thought work.
