PSYS407 - Language and Thought: A Cognitive Psychology/Neuroscience Perspective
Course ID
040017
Course Description
This course focuses on the relationships between language and thought. Can subtle differences in the language we are exposed to affect how we attend to objects, remember events, and make decisions? Do speakers of different languages perceive and think about the world differently? Do bilingual or multi-lingual speakers have conflicting streams of thoughts? The course will survey past and present research that have provided some answers to these questions in various domains, including color, number, space, motion, time, counterfactual reasoning, etc.
