This subject provides students with an advanced understanding of human behaviours and mental processes. The first half of this subject covers the principles, processes and mechanisms of learning. We examine the major theories of learning, and the empirical support for and applications of these theories. The second part of this subject examines the theories of cognitive processes in detail, mainly from an information processing perspective. Current issues/debates in cognitive research are also examined. Applications of the major theories of learning and cognition are also considered.
