NEW COURSE, SPRING 2020: Animal Cognition,
NEW COURSE, SPRING 2020: Animal Cognition, COGS-Q345
(3 credits)
Professor Tom Schoenemann, Cognitive Science Program
Time/location: TuTh 11:30-12:45pm, Psychology room P226
Course Description:
Do animals think the same way humans do? Do they have consciousness? Memory? Are they moral? Do they have language? This course is an introduction to the study of animal cognition. The first part of the course will review historical, theoretical, and philosophical perspectives on these questions. With this background on the issues, we will explore debates about specific aspects of cognition that have been studied scientifically, including whether--and if so, how--animals reason about problems they are faced with, whether they can be said to have memory and concepts, whether they use can use tools, whether they communicate and if so, can it be called a "language", whether they have consciousness, behave altruistically, and have morals.

Rap Guide to Consciousness at Bloomington Playwrights Project
Free Tickets Available for Bloomington Playwrights
Project (BPP)'s science and psychology-themed show, The Rap Guide to
Consciousness!
-September 14th @ 7PM
“Peer reviewed rapper” Baba Brinkman takes a deep dive into the
neuroscience of human experience, from sensations to hallucinations.
“Mind-blowingly, awe-inspiringly good” (Broadway Baby). Baba’s brain consists
of tens of billions of neurons, none of which has any idea that he exists. And
yet, somehow, those cells come together to produce a steady stream of ill
rhymes, laughs, and revelations about the mind we live in.
BPP would like to offer a limited amount of complimentary tickets (available on a first-come, first-served basis) to PBS students who would like to attend any of the following performances:
