PSYC 161 CM - Seminar in Decision Making and Memory

We live in an uncertain world, and so we often make decisions based on uncertainty. This course is an analysis of the human decision making process with an emphasis on how memory influences that process. The course will provide a framework for understanding decision making by appealing to classical theories of decision making, memory theories, heuristics and biases, and statistics. Although the individual as a decision maker is the focus of this course, group decision making and the social influences of individual decision making will be discussed.
