This course traces the historical development of psychology as a science. Using primary sources from Aristotle to Freud to Sacks, psychological concepts, as well as popular misconceptions, will be traced to their current understanding. The first block will focus on learning, cognition, perception, and
social psychology, and introduce students to the methods psychologists use
to investigate phenomena, such as data collection, analysis, presentation,
and interpretation. The second block will focus on neuroanatomy,
development, testing, psychopathology, and the mechanisms of licit and
illicit drugs. (No credit if taken after PY 100.)
2 Units. Course as a whole meets one
unit of Critical Perspectives: Scientific Investigation (SI)
laboratory/field, counting as a laboratory (L) credit.
