PS 330 - Eating Behavior

Institution:

Wagner College

Subject:

Description:

One unit. An examination of ingestive behavior from a variety of perspectives: behavioral, neurobiological, ethological, cognitive/perceptual, clinical, social, and cultural. Early emphasis will be on research methodology and the biopsychological mechanisms of eating. We will then consider the infl uence of motivation, learning, and social interaction on food-related behavior in animals and humans. Research on eating behavior will be used to understand eating pathologies, including eating disorders such as bulimia, and anorexia nervosa and the eating syndromes (for example, binge eating) that may be associated with obesity. All reading assignments will be of original research and review articles. Prerequisite: PS 116 or permission of the instructor. Offered as required.
