3.00 Credits
Explores judgment and decision-making processes and focuses on the social and cognitive aspects of complex information processing. Topics include selective perception, memory and hindsight biases, framing effects, heuristics and biases, social influences, group processes and common errors. Required information processing track course for psychology majors. Students may take this course for liberal arts or institute elective credit. (0514-210, 350, 400) Class 4, Credit 4 (offered occasionally)
-
3.00 Credits
This course reviews current research within a larger historical perspective. It presents the multistory or modal model of memory with an in-depth examination of the evidence used to support the model. It also includes topics such as memory structures, levels of processing, implicit and explicit memory, schemas, signal detection theory and global memory models. Theories of learning are clearly meaningful for the study of memory. With the new developments in connectionist models of learning, theories of learning again assume importance in scientific study. Required information processing track course for psychology majors. Students may take this course for Liberal Arts or Institute elective credit. 0514 210, 550, 400) Class 4, Credit 4 (offered occasionally)

3.00 Credits
As the basis to study visual perception, this course introduces electromagnetic waves as visual stimuli, structure of the eye, and visual pathways in humans, vertebrates, and some non-vertebrates. The materials cover span basic optics, biology, physiology, and psycho-physics. The functional and behavioral consequences of the visual system, such as uneven distribution of photoreceptors in the retina, receptive field of cells, and neural plasticity are also considered. Required for psychology majors in the visual perception track. Students may take this course for liberal arts or institute elective credit. (0514-210, 350, 400) Class 4, Credit 4 (offered occasionally)
-
3.00 Credits
This course explores human color perception from the psychophysical perspective with knowledge in optics, neurophysiology, and color science. Among the topics covered are theories of color vision, basic colorimetric, congenital and acquired color vision deficiencies, and evolution of color vision. Required for psychology majors in the visual perception track. Students may take this course for liberal arts or institute elective credit. (0514-210, 350, 400) Class 4, Credit 4 (offered occasionally)
-
3.00 Credits
Traditional psychological views of organization of spatial vision such as Gestalt psychology and optical array are elaborated and connected to recent development of studies in spatial vision and pattern recognition. Techniques include electrophysiology, psychophysics, and brain imaging. Required for psychology majors in the visual perception track. Students may take this course for liberal arts or institute elective credit. (0514-210, 350, 400) Class 4, Credit 4 (offered occasionally)
-
3.00 Credits
This course surveys such topics as monocular and binocular depth cues, size and shape constancy, stereopsis, direction perception, apparent motion, structure-from-motion, heading perception, and self-motion. Gibsonian approaches to perception are contrasted with more traditional indirect perception approaches. The physiological bases of depth and motion perception are covered, as are practical applications of work in the area. Required visual perception track course for psychology majors. Students may take this course for liberal arts or institute elective credit. (0514-210, 350, 400) Class 4, Credit 4 (offered occasionally)
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides background to the development of current psychological perspectives. It examines beliefs, practices, achievements and limitations of various systems of psychology from Greek times to the late 20th century. Part of the psychology concentration and minor. Students may take this course as liberal arts or institute elective credit. (0514-210 or equivalent) Class 4, Credit 4 (offered occasionally)
-
4.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the neurobiological basis of cognition and behavior. Topics include hemispheric specialization, localization of function, brain injury, neuro-psychological testing, and functional neuro-imaging. Emphasis is on higher brain functions such as language, memory, and visuospatial processing, with an evolutionary perspective. Laboratory work focuses on EEG correlates of attention and cognition. Part of the biopsychology track for the psychology degree program. This course is open to non-majors as an elective in their professional program. It cannot be used to fulfill a liberal arts requirement. (0514-210, 350, 400) Class 4, Credit 4 (offered occasionally)
-
4.00 Credits
A comprehensive introduction to hemispheric specialization, including clinical and scientific relevance of brain asymmetry. Topics include localization of function, split-brain procedures, neuropsychological testing, inter-hemispheric interactions, and functional neuro-imaging. Emphasis is on higher brain functions such as language, memory, and visuospatial processing in an evolutionary context. Laboratory work focuses on lateralized tachistoscopic designs to investigate normal language function. Part of the biopsychology track for the psychology degree program. This course is open to non-majors as a professional elective. It cannot be used to fulfill a liberal arts requirement.(0514-210, 350, 400) Class 4, Credit 4 (offered occasionally)
-
4.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the study of human EEG, also known as brainwaves. EEG analysis is the original functional neuro-imaging technique for visualizing brain activity in healthy and patient populations during cognitive tasks. Advances in functional neuro-imaging have triggered a revolution in research on the biological bases of cognition, emotion, and psychiatric disorders. This course provides a forum in which students can learn about recent EEG findings and applications. Methods for evoking brain activity and how to analyze EEG data as well as the limitations of neuro-imaging results will be explored. Part of the biopsychology track for the psychology degree program. This course is open to non-majors as a professional elective. It cannot be used to fulfill a liberal arts requirement. (0514-214, 350, 400) Class 4, Credit 4 (offered occasionally)
