Description:
What does it mean to be intelligent What important factors do many theories of intelligence preclude Are grades and standardized tests substantial indicators of knowledge The answers to these questions seem to lie largely within the brain and how it develops, processes and retains information. Using social science research and theories from diverse fields, this course examines the parts and larger systems of the brain. Of particular interest will be the role of genetic and environmental factors, how neuronal activity translates into thought, and what brain dysfunctions such as autism can teach us.
