Welcome

This is a free, open-educational textbook and set of course materials for an introductory undergraduate course in cognition. The materials are not yet complete, and I am continuing to develop them across the Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 semesters. All of the materials are CC BY-SA 4.0 creative-commons licensed and free for others to use, copy, remix, re-use.

The suite is developed using open-source software (R, RStudio, Bookdown). The source code for this project is available at https://github.com/CrumpLab/cognition.

The suite includes:

  1. This textbook: https://www.crumplab.com/cognition/textbook
  2. A course website: https://www.crumplab.com/cognition/
  3. Web-based slide decks for a one semester long course (see course website)
  4. An exam test bank (email mcrump@brooklyn.cuny.edu)

The above material is in various stages of development, and should be complete by 2022.

We have plans to continually revise, improve, and add to this suite. In particular, a major stretch goal for the textbook is to embed lab activities in the form of web-based experiment demonstrations, and data-analysis demonstrations. Another goal is to develop tutorials showing others how to copy, use, and/or collaborate on content development.
