The main goal of this course is to illustrate the diversity of experimental approaches employed to study different aspects of cognition, such as memory and attention. This course will also elucidate how the assumptions made by cognitive researchers are reflected in their experimental methods.
From a more practical standpoint, the course aims at offering a wide understanding of the experimental designs of classic reaction time paradigms in psychology. In addition to this, there will also be dedicated moments in which the students will have a direct grasp on designing and programming computerized experiments, as well as analyzing and interpreting the relative data.
