Overview
This course continues showing Psychology as the science of behaviour and mental processes by looking at knowledge gained from experiments and surveys across several more areas (Cognitive psychology, Perceptual psychology, Social psychology), examining theoretical models and discussing the methodology used. There is a concurrent practical course consisting of experiments and demonstrations in large groups, computer-based experiments and computer-aided learning modules, and sessions when students are participants in experiments conducted by senior students and researchers in the School.
