Introduction to Psychology as a Social Science

Tuesday, October 8, 2024- October 29, 2024 Multiday event - 21 days

8:30 AM10:00 AM

Wilson Hall

Offered through Osher Lifelong Learning Institute

Modern psychology uses the scientific method to study thought, experience, and behavior. We will review some of the historical right and wrong turns that ultimately steered psychology from authoritative guesses and outright quackery to evidence-based applications and practices. Although not a course on memory improvement, it will include an overview of the psychology lab-derived basics of learning, forgetting, and memory – and then illustrate their applications to techniques for learning efficiency and improved retention for an aging population.
