3.00 Credits
Discussion-based study of hemispheric specialization for cognitive functioning (including perception, attention, memory, creativity, emotional processing, and language) from a cognitive neuroscience perspective. Cognitive neuroscience is the interdisciplinary science built up to understand the gap between biological processes of the central nervous system and the processes of the mind. In learning about hemispheric specialization of function, we will draw on research from such fields as experimental psychology, neuroscience, neuropsychology, brain imaging, and computer modeling. The first part of the course is designed to teach methods and techniques used in the study of cognitive neuroscience, including the theoretical issues associated with each approach. Throughout the second part of the course, we will learn some ways these methodologies have been used to understand hemispheric specialization of cognitive function. Prerequisites: PS101 and two other courses from the PS course listings or NS101 and two other courses from those listed in the NS major curiculum. PS231 (Neuropsychology) is highly recommended. D.

Directed study providing students with the opportunity for an intensive research experience in a particular laboratory or field setting. The emphasis is on the further development of students' research skills within a particular area of psychological inquiry. Each student will work with an individual faculy member on various aspects of the research process including the design and implementation of a research project, data analyses and interpretation, and scientific writing. This one-semester experience may be repeated for credit. Prerequisites: PS101 and consent of instructor. The Department

1.00 Credits
Students will work with an individual faculty member to develop a major research project. This development will include the conceptualization of a topic, review of the scientific literature, the learning of any necessary research techniques, the execution of any preliminary research, and the submission of a written research proposal to the faculty supervisor. Each student will make an oral presentation of the proposal to other senior thesis students as well as the Psychology faculty at the end of the semester. Students will also attend weekly one-hour seminar meetings to discuss with the faculty member coordinating the program as well as other student participants the design of their research project. Discussion topics will include preparation of materials for the Institutional Review Board, students' perspectives on their literature reviews, discussion of writing and revising, and preparation for thesis proposal defenses. Prerequisites: PS306 and consent of instructor. The Department

1.00 Credits
Students will work with an individual faculty member to complete a major research project developed in Senior Research Project I. A final project will be submitted in thesis form to the faculty supervisor as well as the faculty research coordinator for the program. This final project must be submitted at least two weeks before the end of the term. Students are also expected to present their research findings to the Psychology faculty and student participants in the program. In preparation for the completion of this thesis work, students will also attend weekly one-hour seminar meetings to discuss issues related to their research (e.g., problems in data collection, options for data analysis, etc.), to critique one another's thesis drafts, and toprepare for formal presentations at the end of the semester. Prerequisite: PS375. This course may not be taken concurrently with PS378. Senior Research Project II may be used to fulfill the thesis requirement for departmental honors in psychology.

3.00 Credits
Students work with course instructor to complete a major, written project. The project can be a synthesis of the literature in a particular topic area of psychology, or an original theoretical formulation. The final project should demonstrate a conceptual integration of the material, and should demonstrate both originality and independence of work. In addition to the written project, each student will make an oral presentation summarizing the project. The written version of the project will be submitted at least two weeks before the end of the spring semester. Prerequisite: PS306. This course may be used to fulfill the thesis requirement for departmental honors in psychology. May not be taken concurrently with PS376.
