This website was created for the Introduction to Cognitive Psychology course taught at the University of Iowa during the 8-week Summer 2008 session. The intent of this course is to introduce the basic concepts and findings of cognitive psychology, including the topics of perception, attention, learning, memory, language, categorization, imagery, judgment and decision-making, and problem-solving. Cognition will be discussed from the perspectives of information processing and cognitive neuroscience. This website is designed to enhance your experience in this course. Contained in the links above are access to the syllabus, articles that we'll be reading for class, assignments and handouts, links to interesting and helpful websites, and a calendar feature. I hope that you enjoy the class and find this website to be helpful.
