Psyc 111-601

Perception

Christel Lutz

It seems so natural and effortless to sense and perceive objects and events in our environment that we tend to take sensation and perception for granted. Many perceptual illusions provide compelling evidence for the complexity of perceptual organization. But what are the underlying brain mechanisms that allow us to transform the physical stimulus into subjective and cognitive percepts? And what is the interaction of perception with actions we carry out in our environment?  This course will cover vision, audition, smell and taste, as well as touch and pain and even the perception of time. By looking at specific phenomena in all of those modalities we will be able to describe many general mechanisms and phenomena that are common to all senses. Students will be introduced to methods used in psychology, neuroscience, biology and artificial intelligence.

Cognitive

Paul Grant

What makes humans different from other animals?  Are mental images anything like pictures?  How do you understand spoken language?  Why do you remember some details and not others, and what is memory anyway?  What is the best way to study for finals or go about solving a logic problem?  How did you make the decision to come to Penn, and how SHOULD you have made that decision optimally?  In this course we will address these and other  heady questions in human cognition.  Topics of special interest  to the students may also be included.

Research Experience in Social

Edward Royzman

In this course, students alone or in small groups, will, in consultation with the instructor, design, carry out, and write up original research in social psychology.  The topics of that research are likely to be: empathy, moral perception, disgust, psychology of pleasure and pain, and human sexual behavior.  But other topics might be considered as well. Prerequisite: Psychology 170.
