Psychology- the study of human behaviour - relates to everything that we do in our daily lives and so is relevant in many other academic contexts. Although this module is designed as an introduction for students in the Biological Sciences, it also forms a general introduction to psychology for all students seeking an elective module in psychology and who feel that introductory psychology may enhance their learning in their primary field. In this module we aim to equip you with knowledge to understand introductory psychology. We will discuss a selection of key topics in psychology, with emphasis on biological aspects of psychology and on cognitive psychology.

Aims: The module aims to develop an understanding of how people interact with computing systems. HCI is an interdisciplinary field, and this module develops an understanding of the different approaches that have contributed to our understanding of how people interact with computing systems. This module builds on current research in HCI and aims to take an enquiry-based approach in which you are encouraged to consider the subject from a researcher's perspective.  Objectives: At the end of this module, students should: 1) Have knowledge and understanding of how people interact with computing systems, with a particular focus given to how cognitive, perceptual and motor aspects affect these interactions. 2) Be aware of the implications of psychological research for improving the design and evaluation of computer systems.3) Be able to apply different perspectives for understanding how people interact with computing systems.4) Be able to present well-founded arguments for how to approach HCI problems. Summary of module: Lecture topics may include: Introduction to HCI, Cognition and Evaluation, Fitts' Law, Human Error, Multitasking and Interruptions, Social Media and Cyber Psychology, Public Displays and Augmented Reality, Internet of Things.
