PSYCH 3WA3 - The Mind as a Work of Art

3 unit(s)

This course explores how the arts can be used as a model to understand the nature of human cognition and behaviour. Through an analysis of the psychology and neuroscience of visual art, theatre, dance and music, we can develop an understanding of perception, learning, memory, motor control, reasoning, problem solving, decision making, language, emotion, motivation, and social cognition.
