-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Examines major forms of childhood psychopathology, including autism and other life-span disorders. Issues such as childhood trauma, prevention, and continuity in the development of later adult disorders are also considered. Observations of and interactions with children with autism are also included in the course.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course will examine the different theories, models, techniques, and settings that comprise the practice of clinical psychology in general, and psychotherapy in particular.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course uses a social psychological perspective to understand the dynamics of persuasion and propaganda. The course will apply research on persuasion to an understanding of such areas as political election campaigns, product advertising and major propaganda machinery.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Major issues in social and personality psychology examined from a developmental perspective, with emphasis on developmental processes and change. Data on children, adolescents and adults will be considered. Topics include: attachment, self-concept, self-esteem, achievement, gender roles, moral development, prosocial behavior, and aggression. Particular attention to role of culture.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
The premise of this seminar is that an understanding of the neural basis of behavior can be gained by examining species-typical behaviors. Each animal species has evolved neural solutions to specific problems posed to them by their environment. The course will focus primarily on forebrain mechanisms in mammals, highlighting the unique environmental problems that a species must solve and the ways in which the brains of these animals implement their solutions. Some example model systems include prey capture by bats, monogamy and aggression in voles, and eye gaze processing by primates.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Seminar designed to expose students to a modern, integrative view of animal learning phenomena from experimental psychology, through the lens of computational models and current neuroscientific knowledge. At the psychological level, we will concentrate on classical and instrumental conditioning. Computationally, we will view these as exemplars of prediction learning and action selection, the pillars of reinforcement learning. Neurally, we will focus on the roles of dopamine and the basal ganglia at the systems level. Students will see how the study of animal decision making can inform us about the computations that take place in the brain.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course explores how social psychological theory and research have been used in the interest of social change, and how social change has inspired theoretical or methodological developments in social psychology. In short, it explores major ideas, theories, and findings of social psychology and their applied status. The course is organized around topics of social stasis and change, including intergroup relations, government and authority, identity and citizenship, environment, health, labor, education, and culture.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Much of what we know about the brain systems underlying perception, attention, memory, and language was first derived from patients with brain lesions or other brain pathology. This course provides an introduction to major syndromes in clinical neuropsychology such as object agnosia (deficits in object recognition), amnesia, visuospatial hemineglect (attention deficits), aphasia (language deficits), and others through careful analysis of clinical cases and their underlying pathology.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Seminar designed to expose students to current research on the cellular and molecular bases of learning and memory, providing an up-to-date analysis of what is, and is not, known about the neurobiology of learning and memory. We begin with a review of the model systems used to study learning and memory, including an analysis of the translational validity of certain model systems. We then deal with different forms of plasticity (synaptic and structural) as they pertain to learning and memory during development and adulthood. Finally, we apply some of these findings to evaluate the current status of research on aging and Alzheimer's.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Introduction to graduate level social psychology for first year graduate students in psychology. This course will serve as the basis for more advanced graduate courses on specific topics in this area.
