Getting to know you…

1. Pick two papers you want to read and (better) understand

  • Email me APA formatted citation (with DOIs)
  • Indicate three concepts/terms you are especially interested in understanding

2. Choose a behavior or mental state you want to (better) understand

  • Take an information processing perspective and briefly sketch out (in no more than a short paragraph) the main inputs, outputs, and computations involved.
  • When thinking about outputs make sure to distinguish between behaviors (e.g., movements, facial expressions, vocalizations) and physiological states (e.g., changes in heart rate, hormone concentrations in the blood, etc.)
