cognitive psychology

We need to make sure your system and location are working correctly. Don’t wait ’til Tuesday to find out you can’t take the first test.

Additionally, I’m thinking group 1 is going to share some good info tomorrow. See you there.

Scholars,

I just got an awesome email (around 3 am) that someone has canceled and that I may have their seat at TEDxAtlanta. I gotta take it. I’ll need to leave D-town around the beginning of class so I think it would be best if we could just spend this class time reading (perception and attention chapters have lots of info).

I’ll report back on Thursday. Check out the speaker list. : http://tedxatlanta.com/event/speakers-performers/

Only 100 seats… and me with this humid hair day

Thanks for understanding…. Chuck

How does a brain work? Is it applicable to this project?

You should be reading chapters 1 and 2. We’ll get to work on trying to figure out what the discipline of cognition is and how we got here today.

Hey Ya’ll

The cog final is up and should be ready to go on VISTA.

It opens at 7:30 and ends at 10. You will have 120 minutes once you start to complete the exam.

It’s set up to randomly select 75 questions. Take your time and learn some more as you go.

I put your collab presentation grades in vista.

I’ll leave your collab group test (#3) in the office. Share info with each other. It might be best to bring in your exam, mark what you got wrong, then leave the scantron for the other in your group.

Take your time and do well. Use this as a study session to prepare for the collaborative exam and final. You have our full class time if you get started by 8 a.m.

The exam should become visible a little before 8 in the morning.

If you are prepared you should have plenty of time to complete the test.

Monkeys Count, What’s Next?

Over the past few years the topic of nonhuman primate cognition has been the focus of some of the most interesting and contentious debates in cognitive psychology.  The variety of exceptional cognitive abilities displayed by nonhuman primates has intrigued many of the most active and influential researchers in our discipline.  With the application of computer technology to the nonhuman primate research arena numerous new abilities, capacities, and applications have been discovered.  Computer-based studies of nonhuman primate short-term memory, long-term memory, visuospatial working memory, attention, and numerical cognition will be discussed.  Additionally, studies of the negative impact of long term exposure to microgravity (e.g., spaceflight) on nonhuman primate cognition will be discussed.     

…if you haven’t looked lately take one.
