Short description:	The purpose of the course is to present and discuss the main assumptions of Charles Brainerd and Valerie Reyna's Fuzzy-Trace Theory. During the classes the perspectives of a new interpratation of results from various areas of psychology resaerch will be shown. The psychology of memory is the main and primary field of interest for the fuzzy trace theory. It assumes the existence of two independent forms of the memory trace - the verbatim trace and the gist trace. The authors of the theory also presented their own concept of cognitive development in children, and proposed a new perspective on reasoning and decision making research.
Full description:	1. Theoretical ideas that preceded the development of the fuzzy-trace theory. 2. Experimental findings that challenged previous ideas (e.g., memory-reasoning independence, the intuitive nature of mature reasoning). 3. The core assumptions of the initial version of fuzzy-trace theory. 4. Application of the fuzzy-trace theory in research on false memory and suggestibility 5. Application of the fuzzy-trace theory in research on judgment and decision-making. 6. Application of the fuzzy-trace theory in research on the development of memory functions. 7. New developments of the fuzzy-trace theory. 8. New theoretical ideas based on the fuzzy-trace theory.
