Description

Memory is one of the core pillars of human cognition, intricately influencing how we perceive, interpret, and respond to the world around us. This course offers a deep and structured dive into the science of memory, empowering learners with an understanding of cognitive psychology and its real-world impact.

The journey begins with an introduction to cognitive psychology—unpacking its significance in decoding mental processes and setting the stage for memory exploration. From foundational memory theories to modern models, students will discover how the brain encodes, stores, and retrieves information. Concepts such as the Multi-Store Model and Working Memory Model are critically examined to illuminate their relevance to both daily functioning and long-term cognitive health.

Throughout the course, learners will investigate how emotional influences, cognitive biases, and social dynamics affect memory accuracy. Using case studies and engaging activities, students will uncover how suggestion and group behavior shape memory recall—especially within high-stakes situations like eyewitness testimony.

Special focus is placed on lifespan development, examining how memory evolves from childhood to senior years, and the shifts in cognitive capacity that accompany each stage. The course also delves into the pivotal role memory plays in legal contexts, including its influence on decision-making and justice outcomes.

Finally, students will explore memory-related disorders such as Alzheimer’s, amnesia, and traumatic brain injury, and discover strategies for rehabilitation and cognitive support.

Ideal for aspiring professionals in psychology, law, education, and healthcare, this course equips learners with foundational knowledge and applicable insights into memory’s profound role in shaping human experience.
