A Star Is Born

Introducing ...

Dr. Monk!

And here is what you can expect from the good Dr. Monk's class at George Mason University, PSYC 317-001 Cognitive Psychology:

This course will introduce some of the major issues, theories, and experimental findings in cognitive psychology. Some of the topics that will be covered include sensory perception, attention, memory, imagery, language, reasoning, and problem solving. Although the format will be primarily lecture-based, in-class discussion is encouraged. You will be expected to understand the facts and theories of cognitive psychology and also the research methods used in cognitive psychology — in other words, how human cognition can be studied scientifically, and why the results of experimental investigations support particular theories of human cognition.
Way to go, Chris!

Very cool. Do professors just look younger now because we're older? Also, I'll be very interested to hear about Chris' research on doing secondary tasks while driving.
