PY 227 Judgment and Decision Making
The purpose of this course is to examine the processes and errors involved in human judgment and decision making. We will explore a wide variety of topics within the field, such as the complexity of rationality, problem solving, common heuristics and biases, moral decision making, medical decision making, making judgments under uncertainty, game theory, and value determinations. Students are required to read current journal articles on weekly topics and are expected to participate in class discussions and activities. Students will develop a broader understanding of common cognitive errors and will learn practical skills for improving decision making in everyday life.
Prerequisite: PY 111 or equivalent
