CLPS 0050B: The Two Visual Systems: Visual Perception and Control of Action (formerly COGS 0100C)
1.00 Credits
Brown University
In a series of theoretical articles, Melvyn Goodale and his collaborators have proposed that separate, but interacting visual systems have evolved for the perception of objects on the one hand and the control of actions directed at those objects on the other hand. This seminar will cover the basic literature addressing this problem with studies involving humand and animal studies. Enrollment limited to 20 first year students. FYS

CLPS 0050C: Intentionality and Theories of the Mind (formerly COGS 0100D)
1.00 Credits
Brown University
The purpose of this seminar is to familiarize students with the topic of "theory of mind" – how we understand each other's mental states. In particular, we will focus on how human beings understand other's intenions and beliefs and come to act volitionally. Readings will span developmental, cognitive, social, and cross-cultural psychology as well as neuroscience and philosophy. Emphasis in assignments will be on evaluating and constructing scientific investigations. Reserved for First Year students. Enrollment limited to 20. FYS LILE

CLPS 0050D: Reading Science/Understanding Science (formerly COGS 0100E)
1.00 Credits
Brown University
How is science presented in the modern media? How does this shape the way we think about and understand scientific ideas and the scientific process? Focusing on the brain sciences, we will critically read several award-winning scientific works written for non-specialized audiences, including books by Dawkins, Gould, Pinker, and Sapolsky. We will also consider critiques of these works, as well as related shorter articles intended for wider audiences (e.g., from Scientific American). Finally we will examine several examples of "bad neurojournalism" in an attempt to understand what makes good and bad science reporting. No prerequisites; enrollment limited to 20 first year students. FYS LILE

CLPS 0050E: Animal Minds (formerly PSYC 0190A)
1.00 Credits
Brown University
This freshman seminar examines what we can learn about the mind of an animal through observations and manipulations of that animal's behavior. Drawing on the work of biologists, ethologists and psychologists in the field and in the lab, we will critically evaluate the evidence that animals have minds and debate the thesis that their minds are qualitatively indistinguishable from our own. Enrollment limited to 20 first year students.

CLPS 0050F: Olfaction and Human Behavior (formerly PSYC 0190C)
1.00 Credits
Brown University
In this first year seminar we will explore how our sense of smell is involved in a variety of psychological processes, including: emotion, learning, memory, language and social behavior. Topics such as olfaction in health, technology and marketing will also be critically examined. Students will acquire the basics of olfactory physiology and perception-cognition through course reading, projects and discussions. Enrollment limited to 20 first year students.

CLPS 0100: Learning and Conditioning (formerly PSYC 0900)
1.00 Credits
Brown University
Presents classical and contemporary approaches to the study of the prediction and control of behavior. Emphasizes theories and data derived from studies of Pavlovian conditioning and instrumental learning with nonhuman animals, but also considers implications for human behavior (e.g., drug-dependent behaviors, eating disorders, behavior modification and psychopathologies). No prerequisites.

Uses sleep as the focal point for describing complex behavioral phenomena. How is sleep measured and defined? How does sleep differ across species? What accounts for the timing of sleep? How does sleep change with age? What are the behavioral, physiological, and cognitive concomitants of different states of sleep? How can dreaming be understood? What can go wrong with sleep?
