Course Summary

How is the knowledge represented and stored? How do we perceive the world? How do we reason, make decisions, and learn? What are the origins of human cognition and how does the cognition develop? In this course, we will analyze the mechanisms of human cognitive functions from a psychological perspective and consider what human "knowledge" is. We will also discuss the mechanisms of human brain activity behind the cognitive processing. Specifically, this course mainly covers the following topics. (1) Mechanism of memory (2) Perception and attention (3) Conceptual representations and categories (4) Reasoning and decision-making (5) Language and cognition (6) Cognition and language development
