050.203 (N,S)

COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE: EXPLORING THE LIVING BRAIN (3) Rapp Limit 135 Perm. Req’d This course surveys theory and research concerning how mental processes are carried out by the human brain. Currently a wide range of methods of probing the functioning brain are yielding insights into the nature of the relation between mental and neural events.  Emphasis will be placed on developing an understanding of both the physiological bases of the techniques and the issues involved in relating measures of brain activity to cognitive functioning.  Methods surveyed include electrophysiological recording techniques such as EEG, VEP, ERP, single/multiple unit recording and MEG; functional imaging techniques such as PET and fMRI; and methods that involve lesioning or disrupting neural activity such as WADA, cortical stimulation, animal lesion studies, and the study of brain-damaged individuals.

WRITTEN LANGUAGE: NORMAL PROCESSING & DISORDERS (3) Rapp Limit 40 Prereq: 050.101, 050.102, or 050.105 This course surveys both the historical development of written language as well as current cognitive theories that account for the manner in which the written language is represented and processed by “readers/writers” of a language. Issues regarding the relationship between the written and spoken language, the acquisition of written language skills, as well as developmental and acquired disorders of reading and writing will be examined.Cross-listed with Cognitive Science
