PSYCH 706 Psychological Origins of Numbers (0.50) SEM	Course ID: 010593
The study of the development of our knowledge of number raises multiple questions. First, there is the question learning. For example, how is it that finite brain with finite experience comes to have the compelling intuition that there are infinitely many numbers? Second, there is the question of the role of human culture in learning. All human and non-human animals have some numerical capacities. However, mathematical devices as simple as verbal counting or the place-value system are only ever mastered by a subset o humans, Why is that and what is it that allows some of us to master and create new numerical systems? Third, there is the question of the structure of language. All languages have special structures for making number, varying from the English singular-plural system, to the singular-dual-trial-plural system of some Slavic languages. Why do all languages somehow mark number and how do children acquire these structures? This course will be survey of theories and data that bear on all these questions, starting for Plaget and building up to contemporary work.

Prereq: PSYCH 707A

PSYCH 708 Reasoning about Ownership of Property (0.50) SEM	Course ID: 002724
Ownership of property is an important determinant of human behaviour. It is especially important in development because most of young children's social conflicts concern the possession and use of objects and these conflicts often involve reasoning about ownership. This class will examine the development of reasoning about ownership. Although the main approach will be developmental, a multidisciplinary approach will be taken. Readings will include papers from other areas of psychology and from philosophy, anthropology, law, and ethology.

PSYCH 709 Reasoning about Beliefs and Desires (0.50) SEM	Course ID: 012223
The ability to reason about what others think (believe) and want (desire) is crucial to social interaction, and when making sense of what we and others do. For example, in explaining why someone goes to a certain store we might say the she DESIRES to buy a hammer, and BELIEVES the store sells them. The ability to reason about beliefs, desires, and other mental states is often called "theory of mind." How this ability develops in childhood, has been grealty debated over the past 20 years, and remains mysterious (e.g. how can we learn that people have mental states when we cannot see mental states, but only infer them by observing people's behaviour). This course will mainly concern the development of theory of mind in childhood, and we will discuss the major empirical discoveries and theorectial positions in this area of investigation.

PSYCH 713 Theories of Pretence (0.50) LEC	Course ID: 010597
From early in development (18 months, if not earlier) children engage in and recognize pretence. For example, children can pretend that a banana is a telephone, that their juice is in an empty cup, or that a clean teddybear is dirty. Although pretence is often taken for granted, and perhaps considered childish, it is mysterious: How do children pretend, and purposely represent the world as different than it really is? And how are children able to recognize what others pretend? Are children behaviourists about pretend play? Or does successful pretence signal that your children engage in mental state reasoning ('theory of mind')? Theories of children's (and adults') pretence have sought to provide answers to the questions. These theroies are still actively debated, and are the main topic of this course. Relevant experimental work will also be discussed.

This course will review recent studies of mind-wandering and inattention. The primary focus will be on empirical and theoretical journal articles. The topic will be considered primarily from the cognitive neuroscience perspective though other approaches to the topic will also be considered.

PSYCH 790 Case Studies in Neuropsychology (0.50) SEM	Course ID: 013252
The cognitive disorders that follow brain damage are an important source of insight into the neural bases of human cognitive functioning. The single-case approach in neuropsychology has made a significant contribution to our understanding of the architecture of the brain and its functions. In this course we will review the history, principles and methods used by neuropsychologists to understand perception, attention, memory, language, and consciousness. Disorders of perception and vision such as agnosias, of attention such as neglect, of language such as apshasias and dyslexias, of memory as in dementias, and amnesia, and of higher-order functions as in callosal split brain patients will be considered. We will also examine the relationship between findings from case studies and neuroimaging of cognitive functions. By reviewing and discussing theorectical implications of classic and current research in neuropsychology, students will develop an understanding of how a patient-based approach can inform current theories of human cognition.

PSYCH 791 Real and Virtual Spaces (0.50) SEM	Course ID: 013253
