01:185:345 Person Perception and Social Cognition (3) Survey of major topics in social cognition which is the study of how we understand ourselves and others as social agents and draws from psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy.� Three main units: cognitive architecture, social capacities, and the social world, introduce contemporary debates in social cognition. Prerequisite: 01:185:201.

01:185:350 Fundamentals of Cognitive Neuroscience (3) Explores the cognitive and neural processes that support attention, learning, memory, language, and guided behaviors with an emphasis on the neural mechanisms that form the substrates of human cognition. Introduces basic neuroanatomy, functional imaging techniques, and behavioral measures of cognition, and discusses methods by which inferences about the brain bases of cognition are made.
Prerequisite: 01:185:201.

01:185:360 Origins of Cognition (3) Exploration of the origins and development of human knowledge across three different time scales: ontological development, evolutionary development, and historical/cultural change.
