3.00 Credits
Theory and research in the areas of learning and cognition with a particular focus on the application of learning theory to behavioral interventions and cognitive processes such as visual and auditory perception, memory, attention, reasoning, and intelligence.
Prerequisite:
PSYC 206
-
3.00 Credits
Study of human sensory and perceptual processes, including mechanisms by which the various sensory systems (vision, hearing, taste, touch, and smell) receive information from the environment. The student will gain an understanding of how humans interpret sensory information, and how that information subsequently impacts human behavior. Theoretical foundations and current research strategies will be explored.
Prerequisite:
PSYC 206
-
3.00 Credits
Survey of current perspectives on theory and research in the areas of emotion and motivation. The basic nature of emotion and its functions are covered, and both primary and secondary motivational systems are discussed. Neurobiological, physiological, developmental, cultural, and social influences are explored, and current theoretical and empirical approaches are introduced.
Prerequisite:
PSYC 206
-
3.00 Credits
Overview of psychological, physiological, and computational methodologies used to understand the neural basis of cognitive processes such as vision and attention, learning and memory, reading and language, meaning and semantics, and the organization and control of action. The emphasis will be on how the application of converging methodologies (brain imaging - EEG and fMRI, recordings from individual neurons, studies of brain-injured patients) leads to important insights into the nature of cognition that would be difficult to obtain through any one methodology alone.
Prerequisite:
PSYC 206
-
3.00 Credits
Continuation of Psychology 317 covering advanced methods and applications of operant, respondent, and observational learning principles and procedures used to develop and implement therapeutic behavior modification strategies in a variety of clinical, educational, family, and community settings with various populations (child and adult) to reduce maladaptive behaviors and increase adaptive behaviors. Topics include advanced methods and applications, ethical considerations, behavioral systems support, selection of appropriate intervention strategies, and the measurement, display, and interpretation of behaviora data in the evaluation of behavioral research and intervention outcomes.
Prerequisite:
PSYC 317
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to forensic psychology. Students will understand how the fields of psychology and law intersect in individual and public policy domains. Topics covered include roles of forensic psychologists, criminal responsibility and competence to stand trial, malingering, and trial consulting.
Prerequisite:
PSYC 206
-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
Directed research in psychology guides students in detailed laboratory work such as behavioral coding of department research projects. Regular weekly lab meetings will include discussions of special topics and allow students to develop their own research questions. Students may earn a maximum of three credit hours in 270/370 combined.
Prerequisite:
PSYC 206
-
3.00 Credits
A review of psychometric principles and a survey of tests dealing with intelligence, special aptitudes, personality, and attitudes.
Prerequisite:
PSYC 206
-
3.00 Credits
Directed psychological research under the supervision of faculty member. Research content will vary depending upon faculty and student's research interests. All individual research is reviewed by a faculty committee.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Open only to juniors and seniors with a grade point average of 3.0 or higher in their major courses. A maximum of three semester hours may be earned. All individual research projects are reviewed by three faculty members from two different disciplines. May be taken for credit (three hours) towards the Honors degree by special arrangement.
