Spring 2019 -- Enroll in VPA 5300: Psychology Across the Arts
This seminar examines psychological approaches to the study and experience of the visual and performing arts. Drawing from canonical publications by “cognitive” art theorists like Rudolf Arnheim, Ernst Gombrich, and Leonard B. Meyer, as well as from current theoretical and experimental studies published in the psychological sciences over the last several decades, we will consider a number of topics surrounding the composition, performance, and reception of artistic works, including sensory perception, context and embodied cognition, learning and memory, schema theory and categorization, expectation and prediction, emotion and empirical aesthetics, and clinical and neuroscientific applications.
