Introduction to research on human language. A required proseminar for Cognitive Psychology Ph.D. students. Covers research at the cognitive, neural, and computational levels. Addresses phenomena at the levels of phonology, grammar, and meaning. Emphasizes interrelationships between language and other domains of cognition (perception, memory, executive function). Graduate students in all programs and advanced undergraduates welcome with instructor consent. May be repeated up to 4 total credit hours.
Provides beginning Ph.D. students with an introduction to the study of executive functions. A required proseminar for students in the Cognitive Psychology Ph.D. program. Will include consideration of working memory, inhibition, multi-tasking, monitoring, selection, lifespan changes, and social/clinical applications at the cognitive, neural, and computational levels. Graduate students in all programs are welcome, and advanced undergraduates are welcome with instructor consent. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Provides beginning Ph.D. students with a basic introduction to research on complex human cognition, including reasoning, problem solving, decision making, analogy, concept learning, and knowledge representation. Will include consideration of theoretical, behavioral, and cognitive neuroscience perspectives. One of six proseminar modules required of students in the Cognitive Psychology Ph.D. program. Graduate students in all programs and advanced undergraduates welcome with instructor consent. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
This course offers a rich experience for students to develop and organize curriculum to complement the Neuroscience core courses. This course offers a valuable teaching experience utilizing computational modeling to simulate experimental results. Any Neuroscience curriculum course, such as Intro to Neuroscience I or II, Neuropharmacology, Neurobiology of Learning and Memory or Behavioral Neuroscience may be appropriate with instructor consent. NRSC 4911 and 5911 are the same course. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Designed for beginning graduate students interested in neuroscience. Students read, discuss, and evaluate the primary literature on a number of current topics in neuroscience as well as attend the seminar program in neuroscience. May be repeated up to 8 total credit hours. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Enrolled graduate students in the behavioral neuroscience program will be asked to prepare, present and receive feedback on scientific presentations of their own research or from review of a current research project.
Covers a range of topics important for professional development in clinical psychology, including preparation and delivery of research presentations, preparation of grant proposals/manuscripts and practicum experience (i.e., interviewing and assessment, treatment planning, intervention and documentation). Intended to prepare students for careers as research scientists and clinicians. May be repeated up to 10 total credit hours. Instructor consent required. Requisites: Restricted to Psychology (PSYC) graduate students only.
Provides summaries of current research by graduate students and faculty members in the Cognitive Psychology program in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience.
