3.00 Credits
A critical analysis of the progress and prospects of attempts to build intelligent machines. Prerequisites: PHI 244 and PHI/SPM 250; or permission of instructor. Same as PHI/SPM 355. Chemero
-
3.00 Credits
An examination of complex univariate and multivariate statistical techniques as applied in the context of psychological research. The course will focus on techniques including complex analysis of variance, multivariate regression and correlation, principal components analysis and factor analysis, and power and effect size. We will examine published research and conduct research projects to explore the relationship between hypotheses, experimental designs, and these statistical techniques. Prerequisites: PSY 230 or BIO 210. Bashaw
-
3.00 Credits
Cognitive neuroscience explores the relations between neural systems and cognition. This course will provide an introduction to some theoretical issues in cognitive neuroscience (e.g. what mental representations are; whether cognitive functions can be localized in the brain; whether consciousness can be studied scientifically), as well as an in-depth look at the neural bases of memory, language and motor control. We will also learn about technologies like MRI, EEG, direct neural recording; and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and what these techniques do (and don't) tell us about the neural underpinnings of cognition. Prerequisite: At least one of BIO 240, PSY 302, PSY 304, PSY 305, or permission. Same as BFB/SPM 375. M. Anderson
-
3.00 Credits
Comparative perspectives and approaches to the study of selected topics drawn from cognitive and developmental psychology, cognitive ethology, cognitive and behavioral neuroscience, cognitive science, and behavioral primatology. Research required. Prerequisites: PSY 230 or BIO 210, one of PSY 250, 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306; OR one of BIO 250, 330, 379; OR one of BFB 250, 301, 302, 306, 330, 379; OR permission of the instructor. Same as BFB/SPM 480. Staff
-
3.00 Credits
An overview of methods for conducting research with children, with an emphasis on ethics of working with child participants. Current empirical and theoretical issues in developmental psychology are addressed through literature review and group research projects. Topics reflecting student interests are considered. Laboratory research required. Prerequisites: PSY 230 or BIO 210; PSY 304, or permission. Same as SPM 481. Casler
-
3.00 Credits
Selected topics in experimental social psychology. Emphasis on experimental methods. Traditional areas of social psychology and topics that reflect student research interest are considered. Laboratory research required. Prerequisites: PSY 230; PSY 309, or permission. Wilson
-
3.00 Credits
An in-depth consideration of selected empirical and theoretical issues in cognitive psychology. Emphasis is on recent literature covering basic research in cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and computational neuroscience modeling, including such topics as attention and resource allocation, representation, concept formation, memory, and topics reflecting research interests of participating students. Laboratory research required. Prerequisites: PSY 230 or BIO 210; PSY/SPM 305, or permission. Same as SPM 483. M. Anderson
-
3.00 Credits
Selected empirical and theoretical topics from the contemporary literature in personality psychology with emphasis on measurement issues and comparative analyses of major models and taxonomies. Topics that reflect student research interests will be discussed. Laboratory research required. Prerequisites: PSY 230 or BIO 210; PSY/SPM 307, or permission. J. Campbell
-
3.00 Credits
Contemporary research and theories of the interrelations of perceptual and motor processes. Content will be drawn from the literatures of experimental psychology, neurophysiology, and human factors. Animal models and computational algorithms will be considered when applicable, with primary emphasis on implications for human performance. Laboratory research required. Prerequisites: PSY 230 or BIO 210; PSY 301, or permission. Same as SPM 485. Owens
-
3.00 Credits
The neurophysiological and structural basis of behavior with emphasis on motivation and learning, including the use of psychopharmacological methods. The role of endocrine and metabolic processes in the regulation of behavior is integrated with considerations of structure. Laboratory research required. Prerequisites: PSY 230 or BIO 210; PSY 302 or BIO/BFB 240 or permission. Same as BFB 487. Heyser
