Course Description: This course is part of the second semester of the master's program in Clinical Psychology and aims to discuss complex cognitive processes that underlie both normal and abnormal human behaviour. This course contributes to the following Clinical Psychology program objectives (a) developing domain knowledge (b) enhancing observation skills and critical analysis (c) inculcating evidence-based inference and finally (d) enhances self awareness and self regulation. At the same time the course also exemplifies the University expectation of excellence and service; and contributes to the graduate attributes of academic excellence, professional excellence and personal development.This course continues from Cognitive Psychology-1 and furthers learning on higher cognitive functions. This course will continue to highlight information-processing and computational perspectives while examining Memory, Language, Problem Solving, Reasoning and Decision Making. The topics will also include an understanding of the neuroscience of Cognition. This course will require the use of lab and experiments to demonstrate concepts in the course. Applications related to evaluating cognitive processes and their relevance to the practice of clinical psychology would be highlighted. Course objectives: The course will help the learner
