Humans are inherently social creatures. As a human being, you already have extensive personal experience with relationships of many sorts—family bonds, friendships, and probably romantic partnerships as well. The objective of this course is to introduce you to a different perspective on relationships: the scientific perspective. You will see how research psychologists apply the scientific method of data collection and analysis to investigate how people experience and think about relationships in general, and romantic relationships specifically. What makes someone attractive? Do we each have one true love out there or is the person you end up with determined by who happens to be around? Is it better to see your romantic partner for who they really are or to see them through rose-colored glasses? Might relationships affect your physical health and well-being? How do relationships influence your sense of self? This course will investigate findings from various areas of psychology including developmental, evolutionary, and biopsychological, with a heavy emphasis on the social psychological approach. We will consider how these research findings offer an improved understanding of relationships in everyday life. Active learning and discussion will promote development of students’ scientific literacy as well as ability to apply scientific research to offer insights into relationship phenomena in everyday life.

This course is designed to provide you with an introduction to various statistical issues routinely encountered in psychological studies, especially experiments. We will focus on typical analyses used in experimental designs (especially t-tests and Analysis of Variance [ANOVA]). Along with a focus on the concepts underlying the statistics, we will integrate practical issues associated with using prevalent statistical packages to conduct the analyses. By the end of the course, students should understand the conceptual underpinnings of hypothesis tests for between-subject and within-subject designs, including ANOVA results for between-subject, within-subject, and, if time, mixed designs. They should be able to follow-up those basic analyses with different types of analyses used to help in understanding what the omnibus test statistics mean (e.g., post-hoc tests). Students should also be able to decide when each type of analysis is appropriate or not appropriate and use common statistical software to take raw data and carry the appropriate analysis through to the research conclusions. In many weeks, we will also provide a set of made-up data or real data (on Carmen) with features that cannot be seen with standard stat tests. The aim is to have students explore data by plotting and exploring them in other ways, think of these like puzzles and challenges.

Language is perhaps the clearest example of something that is uniquely human. While many animals use calls to communicate, the human ability to create and understand entirely new ideas makes human language fundamentally different. To study how humans learn, produce, and perceive language is to study what it means to be human. How do we perceive speech? How does the brain decide what it’s heard? How are words arranged into meaningful strings? How is meaning encoded into speech? Are signed languages any different from spoken languages? How does an infant acquire language? How does an adult acquire language? How does the language we speak influence our thoughts and beliefs? These questions will be the focus of this course. To answer them, we will learn the basics of linguistic analysis, understand experimental methods, and discuss theoretical approaches to explaining empirical data. Prereq: 1100, Ling 2000, or 5000.

In this course we will focus on how to think critically about the major issues in clinical psychology. This course is NOT designed to teach you details about how to treat specific mental disorders or what assessment instruments/methods to use when conducting a psychological assessment. Rather, it is a course focused on how to think critically about issues in clinical psychology, including scientific foundations of, and evidence-bases for, various approaches to conceptualizing, assessing, and treating mental disorders. Many of these issues involve long-standing controversies that remain thorny problems for clinical psychology to this day. Other issues involve recent developments in the field. These topics will be dealt with through interactive readings, videos, lectures, class discussions and various activities. Many of the topics and controversies that we'll consider involve the influence of an uncritical perspective, flawed reasoning, and/or flawed evidence. In short, this course is about why it is important to take a scientific approach to clinical psychology and about learning the mindset, skills, and knowledge needed to do so. My goal is to hone your ability to critically evaluate the quality of the claims made by scientists, professionals, the media, and self-appointed "experts" on issues relevant to clinical psychology and other mental health professions (e.g., social work, counseling psychology, clinical counseling, and psychiatry). Together, we will critically evaluate the quality of the evidence and reasoning behind these claims. Although we will apply this approach to clinical psychology and related disciplines in this class, the skills and perspective emphasized in this course are applicable far beyond such fields. I hope you will find them useful in your study of psychology and in your life in general. Prereq: A grade of C- or above in 2220 and 2300; and a grade of C- or above in 2367.02 or 3331.

Stem cells are an integral part of the brain from its embryonic beginnings through adulthood. However, what stems can do and how they can influence behavior varies depending on age, location, environment and disease. Stem cells hold great promise as therapies for many brain diseases but how do their changing characteristics in different places and at different ages affect their usefulness? This course will explore the biology, function and relevance of stem cells for brain and behavior from development through aging. Through lectures and primary research literature, we will discuss what it means to be a neural stem cell, how stem cells shape the brain and what the role of stem cells might be in brain disorders and mental health. Prereq: A grade of C- or above in 3313, or Grad standing.

This course introduces you to the exciting interdisciplinary field of cognitive science devoted to the study of human intelligence and intelligent systems. Researchers in philosophy, neuroscience, psychology, artificial intelligence, and linguistics realized that they were asking many of the same questions about the nature of the human mind/brain, that they had developed complementary and synergistic methods of investigation, and that the evidence led them to compatible answers to their questions. This course introduces cognitive science through a representative sample of such questions, methods, and answers. It is not a special-topic course for students who seek detailed knowledge in a specific area of cognitive science, but as a broad survey of different approaches within the field of cognitive science. We will try not to lose sight of the forest for the trees but we will take a closer look at a few trees too because science is in the details. Along the way, we will introduce the constituent disciplines and their respective contributions to the study of cognition. We will discuss the foundational concepts of computation and information processing from multiple points of view. Two unifying themes are emphasized throughout: (1) Information processing: The mind/brain is viewed as a complex system that receives, stores, retrieves, transforms, and transmits information. (2) Neuroscience grounding: Explicit effort is made to show how mental phenomena emerge from the interactions of networks of neurons in the brain. Prereq: A total of 12 cr hrs from any of the following areas: CSE, Ling, Philos, or Psych, or Grad standing, or permission of instructor. Not open to students with credit for CSE 5531, Ling 5612 or Philos 5830. Cross-listed in CSE 5531, Ling 5612, and Philos 5830.

The goal of the course is to provide a contemporary survey of the biological basis of neuropsychiatric dysfunction and resulting behavioral syndromes.

This course will examine various ways of evaluating behavioral aspects of new technologies (e.g., social media, artificial intelligence chatbots, mobile communication devices, transportation innovations). Many new products seem like they might improve our lives through increased efficiency, convenience, or power in performing specific tasks. However, it is difficult to predict whether new technology will make us happier or kinder, enhance social interactions, increase creativity, or generally improve our quality of life. Technology often has hidden costs and benefits such as unexpected effects on cultural manners, new forms of distributed cognition and social cooperation, increased multi-tasking, destabilizing environmental impacts, greater expectations for speeded performance, and displacement of some occupations. This course will consider many behavioral dimensions of technology that may impact decisions about designing, deploying, and incorporating new devices into our lives. Prereq: 1100, or Grad standing.

The field of developmental cognitive neuroscience involves trying to understand how the brain supports complex thoughts and behaviors by studying how these processes emerge over development, and how our genes, brains, and experiences interact to make us all unique individuals. Some hot questions include: How does the brain change over the first few years of life and how do these changes support the accompanying changes in perception and cognition? What brain architecture is present when you are born, and how does it change with maturation vs. experience? How does early brain structure and function constrain later learning and plasticity? We will assay foundational studies as well as the latest literature to formulate the field’s current answers to these questions. Prereq: 3313 or 3513.
