PSYC160 CM - Effective Learning Across the Lifespan

Much of our lives are spent learning, both formally and informally. We then apply our learning from prior experiences, using our accumulated knowledge to navigate and interact with the world around us. This course is an in-depth analysis of how learning and memory work and how they change as we age. We will also delve into how metacognition - the ways in which we think about our memories - can influence our learning and memory. The ultimate goal of the course is for students to come away with concrete evidence-based strategies and approaches for effective learning all their lives.
