This course focuses on the structure and function of minds, brains and behaviour. Students will be introduced to various theoretical perspectives: from experimental and cognitive psychology, evolutionary psychology, experimental analysis of behaviour, cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology. It has been said that there is nothing so practical as a good theory, so we will also highlight how theory leads to application in various real-world contexts, from personal health to education, and how everyday questions can be approached scientifically.
