History of Cognitive Science Course at SAU

As mentioned in the first class, this course is changing to a more applied focus. It is still a cognitive science course, but now the emphasis will be on more practical issues related cognitive science. So, topics like human factors, interface design, usability, human-computer interaction (HCI), and similar will now be added to the course. The basics of the cognitive science will still be covered, however, in nearly every area the relationships between pure and applied science will be explored. In large part, this redirection is response to the job market. The World Wide Web has spawned a great demand for persons who can meld psychology and technology. As in previous years, students will still create Web-based presentations for presentation in class.
