Cognitive Psychology in Decision Making delves into the intricate mechanisms that underlie human choices and judgments. This course provides participants with a robust framework for understanding how cognitive biases, heuristics, and emotional factors influence decision-making processes in various contexts. Through project-based learning, participants will engage in interactive sessions that foster collaboration and the application of theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios.
The curriculum is designed to equip graduates, job seekers, and business professionals with practical skills that enhance their decision-making capabilities. Participants will explore key concepts in cognitive psychology and behavioral economics, culminating in a final project that synthesizes their learning and encourages publication in Cademix Magazine. This hands-on approach not only deepens understanding but also showcases participants’ expertise to potential employers and peers.
