Monkeys Count, What’s Next?

Over the past few years the topic of nonhuman primate cognition has been the focus of some of the most interesting and contentious debates in cognitive psychology.  The variety of exceptional cognitive abilities displayed by nonhuman primates has intrigued many of the most active and influential researchers in our discipline.  With the application of computer technology to the nonhuman primate research arena numerous new abilities, capacities, and applications have been discovered.  Computer-based studies of nonhuman primate short-term memory, long-term memory, visuospatial working memory, attention, and numerical cognition will be discussed.  Additionally, studies of the negative impact of long term exposure to microgravity (e.g., spaceflight) on nonhuman primate cognition will be discussed.     

We need to decide if we are going to meet on the afternoon of the honors conference or if we are going to make it up on Friday AND attend conference presentations.

Should we meet we will be in a different room on that Wednesday.

We’ll have some fun looking at top down processing.

Then we’ll mix it up a little. On Wednesday we’ll take our collaborative exams. Everyone needs to be there on time… and by on time I mean early.

Then we’ll take individual exams on Friday during our scheduled class period.

See ya’ll on Monday

I certainly hope everyone is taking some time to read for comprehension and take some quizzes today. I’m having fun with our sensation material and I hope you are too. I think you’ll like perception even better. It’s gonna trip you out.

See ya’ll on Monday.

We’ll finish up Neuro today and move forward to Sensation.

Wiht last weeks free time while I was at the conference I bet everyone is way ahead on their readings
