-
0.00 - 1.00 Credits
A laboratory course on the prediction, control, and explanation of the behavior of animals in simple environments. Prerequisite: CLPS 0900 (PSYC/COGS 0090).
-
0.00 - 1.00 Credits
Laboratory course in behavioral neuroscience for advanced students of psychology or neuroscience. The goal is to gain "hans on" research experience with a variety of behavioral assays used to assess the effects of genetic mutations on behavior. Over the course of the semester, students will examine the behavioral phenotype of a mouse model of human disease. A group of transgenic mice will be compared with a group of wild type control mice on three batteries of behavioral tasks designed to test cognitive, affective, and sensorimotor behavior. Recent classes have tested mice models of Fragile X Mental Retardation, Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy, and Alzheimer's Disease. Over the course of the semester, each student will complete statistical analysis of the data and prepare a manuscript suitable for publication in a scientific journal. Prerequisites: CLPS 0410 (PSYC 0750) or NEUR 0010, and CLPS 0900 (PSYC/COGS 0090), or instructor permission. Enrollment limited to 21; not open to first year students.
-
1.00 Credits
Part of a summer immersion in behavioral science research in human sleep and chronobiology. Instruction in human sleep and circadian rhythms, research techniques in basic physiology, laboratory skills, ethics of research, and basic CPR. Research seminars explore other techniques and career paths. Recommended prerequisite: CLPS 0010 (PSYC 0010) is preferred; NEUR 0010 is also acceptable. Enrollment limited to 15.
-
1.00 Credits
An investigation of conceptual structure, judgment, and inferential processes. The focus is on the relation between empirical evidence, theories, and models of cognitive process and structure. Prerequisite: CLPS 0200 (COGS 0420).
-
1.00 Credits
How does human memory work and why are some things easier to learn and remember than others? This course covers experimental and behavioral studies of human memory including long- and short-term memory for text, pictures, spatial information, and autobiographical events. Emphasis on real-world situations, including education, in which memory and learning play a role. Prerequisite: CLPS 0200 (COGS 0420).
-
1.00 Credits
How is human memory like a search engine? Is human knowledge like the internet? What can artificial intelligence and machine learning tell us about the mind? This seminar explores parallels between human cognition and contemporary research in computer science, emphasizing common problems. In addition to the above, topics include simplicity, randomness, coincidences, and causality.
-
1.00 Credits
Our knowledge of the world is organized into concepts and categories. What is the basis of this organization? What information is used to make category judgments? How do children acquire concepts and categories? How are our concepts related to the language we speak? This course will examine these questions from an interdisciplinary perspective, combining relevant work in cognitive and developmental psychology, philosophy, linguistics, and computational modeling. Recommended prerequisite: CLPS 0200 (COGS 0420).
-
1.00 Credits
No description available.
-
1.00 Credits
How do people reason about informal events in everyday life and more formal subject domains? What are the fallacies that people endorse and how can they be averted? What are some strategies for developing critical reasoning skills? A presentation of theories of human reasoning and problem solving and their applications to educational practice. Prerequisite: CLPS 0200 (COGS 0420).
-
1.00 Credits
A review of research on how people make moral judgments. We will discuss and attempt to integrate diverse perspectives and research on cognition, action, and emotion from cognitive science, cognitive neuroscience, and philosophy.
