3.00 Credits
Presents the modern science of understanding mechanisms of the mind in which cognitive theory is integrated with neuropsychological and neuroscientific evidence. Topics include the cognitive and biological bases of perception, attention, memory, language, hemispheric specialization, executive function, imagery, and consciousness. Techniques of cognitive science such as brain imaging (MRI, PET, ERP), the study of patient populations, and computational analyses will be integrated with content of the course. Prerequisites: ZOO 305 or one of the following: PSY 251, 271, 273.
-
3.00 Credits
Empirical and theoretical approaches to the neural basis of learning and memory. Emphasis is placed on neural mechanisms and recent development in the field. Prerequisite: PSY 351.
-
3.00 Credits
Develops quantitative tools for studying behavior, including experimental techniques, mathematical analysis, and computational models of cognitive, social, and brain function. Topics can include models of concept learning and categorization, attention, memory, decision making (group and individual), and neural networks. Issues such as model selection, evaluation, and simulation are integrated throughout. Prerequisite: (one of the following: PSY 294, STA 301, STA 368, STA 462) and (one of the following: PSY 221, PSY 251, PSY 271, PSY 273, PSY 373).
