Course focuses on comparative cognition and abstract concept learning. Students will explore how the use of abstract concepts improves the ability to sort objects, events, and relations into common classes on the basis of shared perceptual, associative, and relational properties and to transfer knowledge to new stimuli or contexts. Additionally, the course introduces students to the study of the molecular and cellular interactions and principles of immune systems. The main subject areas are: humoral immunity and vaccine. The course uses a series of foundational and topical readings; students are expected to demonstrate development of analytical reasoning by commenting and critiquing Peer-reviewed publications on these two topics.
