This course examines human memory processes. The human brain contains a system for classifying, storing, and retrieving information that exceeds the capacity of the best computers in flexibility and speed. Yet the same system is often so unreliable that it cannot consistently remember a seven-digit phone number long enough to dial it. How can memory be so efficient in some regards and unreliable in others This course considers psychological research and theories that address this question. Prerequisite: Psychology 110 or permission of instructor Talarico
-
3.00 Credits
This course focuses on theory and application in the areas of measurement, research design, and statistical analysis and interpretation. Topics include coverage of selected multivariate techniques (e.g., multiple regression, discriminant analysis, factor analysis), measurement theory, and meta- analytic techniques. Emphasis is on developing the necessary skills for success as an independent researcher. Lecture/laboratory. [W] Prerequisite: Psychology 203 or permission of instructor Vinchur
-
3.00 Credits
Principles derived from learning experiments represent one of the most powerful tools for understanding behavior. This course examines Pavlovian and operant relations involved in behavior change (in an evolutionary context) and how these factors continue to be discovered in animal and human experimental work. Lectures set the stage for a series of experiments conducted during laboratory sessions, and class discussions of additional readings and experimental work will cover research design issues, data analytic techniques, and written presentation of experimental findings. Behavioral interpretations of linguistic and cognitive approaches will also be discussed.. Lecture/laboratory. [W] Prerequisite: Psychology 120 Allan
-
3.00 Credits
Perception comprises psychological and physiological processes underlying our ability to get and use information about our environment. This course examines perceptual processing that transforms sensation to cognition. We focus primarily on visual perception of color, depth, and motion, with attention also to audition, touch, and pain. Lecture and laboratory complement each other in the exploration of phenomena and measurement methodologies. In laboratory work, students design and run experiments, analyze data, and present findings of perception-based studies. Lecture/laboratory. [W] Prerequisite: Psychology 203 or permission of instructor Pinto
-
3.00 Credits
The neural, hormonal, and physiological bases of animal and human behavior are examined. Physiological aspects of such topics as language, learning and memory, feeding, sexual behavior, emotions, sleep, and neurological disordersare covered. In the laboratory, students will conduct discovery-oriented research utilizing a variety of techniques employed by physiological psychologists and neuroscientists. Lecture/laboratory.
