PS 305 Cognition in Humans & Animals
This seminar course will explore the differences and similarities in the cognitive development of animals and humans, particularly infants and children. Often in comparative courses the focus is "what makes humans unique?" but this course will also explore the many ways our development and behavior parallel those found in the animal world through discussion of theory and research related to this field. The course will focus on various cognitive abilities including those in perception language and theory of mind and play.
