The course examines research on some of the ways affect influences such thought processes as memory, decision making (including risk taking), and problem solving (including creative problem solving), among other basic and applied cognitive processes. Applied topics relevant to management concerns (for example, organizational behavior and consumer behavior) as well as other theoretical and applied topics (among them medical decision making, social interaction, self-control, goals, self-concept, and cognitive and affective development) are considered, depending on student interests.
