Weigh up what we believe is real and what is learned. Dive into the major senses, with a focus on vision. Investigate sense-specific questions such as how 3D movies work, how we know which way is up, and why some people are colour-blind.

Perception

Understand how the human brain works when taking in visuals, sounds, memory and language. Discover the cognitive processes of selecting and sorting. Investigate how brain processes vary in dyslexia and memory impairment.

Cognitive Processes I

Understand the cogs at work behind the learning brain. Cover classical and operant conditioning, social learning and neural mechanisms of learning. Go behind the scenes with studies in areas such as neurophysiology and neurotransmitters.

Biopsychology and Learning

Dive into the development of the human mind. Learn how the brain changes from pregnancy to childhood, and adolescence through to adulthood. Consider how development is influenced by genes, the physical environments and social relationships.

Developmental Psychology

Learn to bring a scientific lens to personality and social psychology using theories and research. Take a critical approach as you consider differences in the two fields, evaluate existing knowledge and look into controversies within these areas.
