Explore factors such as visual perception, memory, and theories on forgetting
This second free course continues the introduction to Psychology. This free learning course approaches the topic from a ‘cognitive’ angle. This perspective likens the mind to an information-processing computer and uses the computer metaphor to examine complex human functions such as visual perception and memory. This online course is suitable for revising, exam preparation, and for those who often wondered how humans engage in complex mental functions!
Memory and Cognition in Psychology is originally from Australian School Curriculum and published by XSIQ and has a duration of 3-4 Hours for the average learner.
