-
1.00 Credits
Explores fundamental issues in psycholinguistics: what is the nature of language; what are its biological underpinnings; how does the mind process speech, recognize words, parse sentences, comprehend discourse; what do effects of brain injuries on language reveal about the organization of language in the mind? Syntheses of results from multiple modes of analysis – linguistic, psychological, computational, and neurophysiological – are emphasized.
-
1.00 Credits
Human language is made possible by specialized anatomy and brains that can regulate speech production, complex syntax, and acquiring and using thousands of words. This course examines Darwin's theory of evolution and the archaeological and fossil records of human evolution; studies of chimpanzee communication, culture, and language which provide insights on human evolution; the physiology of human speech; and recent studies of the brain bases of human language and thought.
-
0.00 - 1.00 Credits
A survey of statistical methods used in the behavioral sciences. Topics include graphical data description, probability theory, confidence intervals, principles of hypothesis testing, analysis of variance, correlation, and regression, and techniques for categorical data. Emphasizes application of statistical methods to empirical data.

The purpose of this seminar course is to familiarize students with the topic of "theory of mind" - how we understand other's mental states. In particular, we will focus on how children develop an understanding of others intentions and beliefs. While the majority of the reading will be in developmental psychology, cognitive, social, clinical and comparative literatures will also be examined.

This advanced laboratory course will cover research design issues geared for students interested in the Psychology Honors Research program but is open to others. Methods covered will include observation, experimentation, interview, questionnaire, rate scales, content analysis, and case study. Students will design and conduct research projects, give oral presentations, and prepare written reports. Prerequisites: CLPS 0010 (PSYC 0010) and CLPS 0900 (PSYC/COGS 0090). Enrollment limited to 25.

Pending Approval Even the brightest ideas can be obscured by turgid, jargon-laden prose. Good scientific writing is good writing: it engages the reader, provides a compelling, easily followed flow, and provides a sense of closure. This course seeks to illuminate how these goals can be met within the context of forms encountered in the brain and behavioral sciences: conference abstracts, proceedings papers, journal articles, literature reviews, grant proposals. Activities will emphasize drafting, critiquing, editing, and collaborative writing. Enrollment limited to 15.
-
0.00 - 1.00 Credits
An examination of types of explanations used in psychology, with an emphasis on quantitative models of perception, learning, and motivation. Students implement models on a computer and compare theoretical predictions to observed facts. No previous experience with computers assumed; students will learn to implement and develop theories based upon spreadsheets.
