APH 6012 - Cognitive and Affective Behavior


This course provides an overview of practical and theoretical concepts associated with human cognitive and affective processes, as well as an analysis of the interactions between thought and emotion and how these influence behavior. Students gain a basic understanding of neuroanatomy and the cognitive processes of language, attention and perception, learning and memory, and problem-solving and decision-making. With particular emphasis on the roles of emotion, self-regulation and motivation, students investigate implications for current issues in sport and exercise psychology through the use of case-oriented study. 3 credit(s)
