This course examines cognitive-affective dynamics and the interdependent relations between thinking and feeling. In particular, this course considers how affective states influence a variety of cognitive processes, including attention, perceptual organization, memory (encoding, storage, and retrieval), and cognitive biases and heuristics that guide judgment, inference, decision making, and problem solving. Current theory and research are emphasized.
