How do people make sense of the social world? The objective of this course is to provide advanced students with the skills to understand, analyze, and build models of how people think and behave in social situations. We cover topics such as social perception, categorization, attitude change, decision making, and collective behavior. The course gives equal attention to classic theories and new computational tools from both social psychology and cognitive science.

Course materials are in progress; for a preview, see my [Mind lecture] in Spring 2025.
