Psychological science explores the 'how and why' behind processes and behaviour. This
subject provides a systematic introduction to the way in which humans perceive, process,
learn, retrieve, respond to and utilise information about their environment. Students
are introduced to the pivotal concepts and seminal works in a number of key areas
in psychology: learning, sensation and perception, social cognition, group processes
and consciousness. In order to gain an integrated and comprehensive overview of the
content and methodology of psychology as a whole, students who have not already done
PY1101 are encouraged to do so.
Learning Outcomes

areas of psychology;
- identify the way humans perceive, process, learn, retrieve, respond to and utilise
information about their environment;

mental processes and behaviour.
