Course Description:
This course explores how we use memory in our everyday lives. We will analyze what memory is and the methods that psychologists use to study it. We will discuss how we can apply the information that psychological research has uncovered about memory to improve our lives, including in how we learn and study information. Finally, we will examine how memory for our personal experiences affects our self-identity, our relationships with others, and our ability to plan for the future. Course content will draw from textbook and empirical journal article readings, as well as popular media, films, and podcasts.
