This honours elective (PSYC4103) provides a gentle introduction to computational modelling of human cognition. It is structured around a series of case studies covering, inductive reasoning, concept learning, decision making and language acquisition. As such, discussions focus on whether - and how - the comparison between human and the machine learning tells us something useful about the mind.

This resource provides an introduction to R programming, with applications in psychological science. (Linked with the PSYC3361 internship program)
