PSY 1460 - MEMORY AND MEMORIZATION


Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Why is it that some things seem so easy to learn and others seem so difficult? Is it possible to train memory? What changes in the brain when we learn and remember? In this class you will explore various methods of learning to gain an understanding of the complexities of human memory. You will work on training your memory and determine how much your memory can improve, and how much those improvements generalize from one form of memory to the next. Along the way, you will learn about the major theories of memory and identify which learning techniques result in the best memory performance. You will also gain knowledge about the neural bases of learning and memory.
