Cognitive neuroscience of words and memory — PSY4246.01

Instructor: Faculty TBA
Days & Time: TU,FR 10:30am-12:20pm
Credits: 4

How do cognitive neuroscientists examine words and word meanings?  What are the different ways we can remember words, such as definitions (鈥減ollo鈥, 鈥渏i鈥, 鈥渃hicken鈥) and lyrics, and how do words work in our brains?   Why do we sometimes struggle to remember a word that comes to mind easily later on?  Are words and images stored together or separately in our brains?  These questions and more will be addressed in this course, after an overview of the central nervous system.

GANAS — APA4154.01

Instructor: Jonathan Pitcher
Days & Time: MO,TH 1:40pm-3:30pm
Credits: 4

In terms of public action, Ganas remains a community-driven, cross-cultural association that offers students volunteer opportunities to engage with the predominantly undocumented Latine migrant worker population. We maintain relationships with local organizations and members while developing new ones, along with more conventional classes and readings. Over the past couple of years, it has ballooned into a range of simultaneous activities that are seemingly happening all of the time, with students very much at the center of said impetus.
