Course Description

PSYCH 1X03 is an introduction to the scientific investigation of problems in Psychology, Neuroscience and Behaviour. We will use a framework of psychological research methods to understand higher level processes such as Learning, Cognition, Social Psychology, Personality and Psychopathology. We will focus on developing skills to evaluate information that is useful in psychology and beyond:

• Apply terms used in psychology and evaluate research methods
• Integrate knowledge from several key areas in psychology
• Research and critically evaluate scientific information

This course (along with Bio 1P03 or Grade 12 Biology) also serves as a prerequisite to Psych 1XX3 offered in Term 2 which must be completed if you intend to pursue an honours program in psychology.
