Groups meet once weekly at the Center for Tutoring and Academic Excellence (Sullivan Center) on the Lake Shore Campus.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PSYC 101 or BIOL 102 Historical and theoretical foci with consideration of the basic anatomy of the nervous system and the physiology of nerve cells, representation in the brain and production of motor behavior, and neural mechanisms of selected high mental functions. Outcomes: Students will understand and be able to explain the structure and function of the nervous system, neural signaling, and neural mechanisms of motor behavior and ¿high mental functions.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PSYC 304. Logic and theory of the scientific method. Basic principles of scientific research methodologies employed in approaching major problem areas in psychology. Outcomes: Students will demonstrate knowledge and skills necessary to formulate research questions and hypotheses, develop research designs, operationalize variables and gather data in an ethical manner, choose appropriate statistical methods for analyzing data, interpret results of statistical analyses, write a scientific paper in APA style, and critically evaluate research.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PSYC 101 Analysis of language as symbol-behavior specific to humans, language structure and competence, language performance, and the neurophysiological basis of language. Methods for investigating language processing, acquisition, bilingualism, and language disorders will be considered. Outcomes: Students will demonstrate understanding of major theories, research methodologies, and empirical knowledge in the study of language.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PSYC 306. PSYC 275 is also recommended. Special attention is given to the fundamental skills needed to evaluate human service programs including research methodology and research diplomacy. The strengths and weaknesses of several evaluation strategies will be discussed in terms of scientific validity, ethical constraints, and political acceptability. Outcomes: Students apply their developing evaluation skills in a class project and present the data in a written report.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PSYC 306, and either PSYC 240 or 305. Introduction to the structures and functions of vertebrate nervous systems, how these systems compute and process information; laboratory experience with concepts and methods in the neurophysiological study of the bases of perception and other behaviors. Hearing is used as an example. Outcomes: Students will learn the concepts of basic neurophysiology and the theory of signal detectability, and have experience applying the logic and formulation of neurophysiological theories of perception.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PSYC 250 and 306. Laboratory demonstrations, experiments, and microcomputer applications in the area of human cognition. Topics vary, but include learning, memory, thinking and language processing.. Outcomes: Students gain skills and experience in experimental design, measurement, statistical analyses, and report writing as they relate to research on human cognition.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PSYC 306; PSYC 331 or 338 is recommended. Topics include: theory of psychological testing and assessment; historical context and related legal and ethical considerations; basics of test construction and evaluation, including reliability, validity, and standardization; and common measures of personality, attitudes, and ability and their psychometric properties. Outcomes: Students will learn to demonstrate proficiency with psychological testing terminology and concepts.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PSYC 306 and either 240 or 305. Laboratory demonstrations, experiments, and microcomputer applications to the psychophysical and physiological study of sensory systems. The course stresses the research methods and quantitative measures that are used in characterizing sensory processes, especially visual and auditory systems. Outcomes: Students gain skills and experience in experimental design, measurement, statistical analyses, and report writing as they relate to research in sensory processes.
