PSYC 101-001 — Introduction to Psychology
T TH 8:00 a.m. - 9:15 a.m., CSSC 011
Dr. Mark Coe- An introduction to and survey of the basic concepts and findings within the field of psychology.
PSYC 101-002 — Introduction to Psychology
M W F 10:10 a.m. - 11:00 a.m., BA 005
Dr. David Clement- This course provides a broad coverage of all the basic areas in psychology, at an introductory level. You are expected to learn the vocabulary of the discipline, some of the basic research knowledge in the field, and the types of professional activities going on in psychology. In addition, you will be encouraged to apply the things you are learning in trying to understand and predict your own behavior and the behavior of people around you.
The course begins with coverage of the scientific bases of psychology, the biological bases of behavior, and the principles of the development of behavior, from infancy through aging. The next section includes perception, learning, and memory. This is followed by coverage of intelligence, the principles of motivation and emotion, and personality. The final section of the course deals with social psychology, abnormal behavior, psychotherapy, and applied psychology.
Obviously, there is a wide variety of topics presented, with the type of material changing rapidly from week to week. Most students find some areas quite interesting (and other areas at least acceptable!), and many students find applications of the material to their everyday lives.

T TH 2:00 p.m. - 3:15 p.m., BA 750
Dr. Leslie Baylis- This course is designed to provide an overview of the field of experimental psychology and research in the behavioral sciences. Students will learn how experiments and research are conducted in science and the techniques psychologists use to study behavior. Focusing on the different techniques of data collection, especially using the scientific method, the basic principles of different experimental designs will be outlined and demonstrated during lectures. Students will learn the steps involved in formulating a hypothesis, manipulating variables and controlling extraneous variables in experiments, as well as non-experimental procedures, such as surveys. Students will learn to critically and intelligently evaluate the soundness of research findings reported by experimental journals, newspapers, and other media sources. Grading will be based on approximately 2 mid-term exams and a final exam, and homework assignments.

Prereq: PSYC 101 or SCCC 130. Restricted to PSYC Majors only November 15-22, and to Criminal Justice Majors beginning Nov. 23rd.
MW 5:30 p.m. - 6:45 p.m., GAMB 250
Dr. Scott Ardoin- Students will learn how research is designed and conducted and will develop the skills to evaluate the adequacy of research findings reported by others. The basic research methodology presented in this course has direct application to medical, business and educational research problems, and indirect application to scientific fields outside of the behavioral and social sciences. My goal is to provide students with the skills necessary to develop a simple study that could be used to evaluate problems that they may encounter in psychology or in every day life. In addition to tests and quizzes, students will be required write a paper that includes scientific evidence from professional journals either supporting or disclaiming the fining reported in the media.
In addition to their textbook, students will be required to purchase a clicker that will enable them to respond to questions presented to them during class. Clickers will also be used for quizzes.

PSYC 405-001 —Cognitive Psychology
Prereq: PSYC 101 or SCCC 130
T TH 12:30 p.m. - 1:45 p.m. WMBB 127
Dr. Doug Wedell- At the heart of the science of psychology is the question, “How do we think?” Cognitive psychologists address this question from a variety of perspectives. The objective of this course is to develop the student's knowledge of the basic scientific findings and theories about how people think. This information is important for those planning to go on to graduate work in psychology. We will begin our tour of cognitive psychology with consideration of methodological issues and how the mind and brain coordinate. Then we examine the fundamental issue of how the mind organizes perceptual information so quickly and efficiently. We then move on to consider attention and its role in our thoughts and perceptions. Because cognition would not be possible without memory, we spend considerable time examining the multiple facets of memory, including false memories, imagery, and language. Finally, our tour of cognitive psychology ends with an examination of the more complex, higher order cognitive skills involved in problem solving, reasoning, judgment and decision making. Throughout, we will have exercises that allow the student to experience some of the experimental procedures involved in this research.

Prereq: PSYC 101 or SCCC 130
T TH 9:30 a.m. - 10:45 a.m. S 112
Dr. Leslie Baylis
- In 330 B.C. Aristotle said "Nothing is in the mind that did not pass previously through the senses." Aristotle was saying that all our memories, thoughts, desires and ambitions are founded first and foremost in the processing of simple environmental stimuli. This course will investigate how our sensory systems take these physical environmental events in the world around us (compressions and expansions of air molecules, electromagnetic radiations, etc.) and transduce them into the perceptions we are so familiar with (e.g., sound and light) thereby creating what Aristotle called the "mind". In addition, this course will investigate the anatomy, physiology and evolution of sensory systems and how these systems allow for the survival of humans and other species. By the end of the course, the successful student will be able to understand the relationships between the physical world and our perceptual experiences. They will understand the anatomy and physiology of the sensory receptors, pathways and brain areas that process perceptual events, and they will understand how the brain interacts with the mind in generating perceptions. Students will be graded on 4 exams and a paper.

Dr. David Clement- This course is gives an introduction to the ways in which people interact with systems, particularly their environment and physical surroundings. Essentially, human factors psychology (ergonomics) includes the application of experimental psychology to the environment (and, in fact, the earliest label for this area was "applied experimental psychology"). You will learn the basic research upon which this area relies, gain some understanding of the research methods used in the area, and understand some of the directions current research is taking and future research might take.

Dr. James Appel- This course surveys the effects of psychoactive drugs and how they have been used, misused and abused throughout history to alter affect (mood), behavior and "mentation." Particular attention will be paid to the neuronal and molecular bases of these effects; that is, to drug "actions". By the end of this course, you should have acquired a better understanding of: (1) why people and other animals use drugs; (2) how psychoactive substances act on the brain and other nervous tissue to produce their complex effects and, (3) the extent to which these effects are altered by pharmacological, physiological, environmental, socio-cultural, and other variables. Information will be presented in lectures and the notes on which they are based, the textbook (above), and classroom discussion

PSYC 506/LING 576 — Psychology of Language
T Th 9:30 a.m. -10:45 a.m. WMBB 133
Dr. Amit Almor
- Psycholinguistics is the scientific study of the processes and mental representations that underlie people's language ability. This class will
look at various aspects of language processing including comprehension,
production, acquisition, and underlying brain mechanisms. We will also
look at language impairments, reviewing how particular patterns of
breakdown can reveal how the normal system works. In each area, we will
review current theories of the underlying processes and review the main
experimental evidence cited in support of different theories.
In addition to learning about human language processing, this course
will also provide students with tools to understand and critically
evaluate theories of mental processes as well the relation between
theoretical ideas and experimental evidence. More specifically, students
will get considerable practice in forming specific hypotheses on the
basis of general theoretical ideas, identifying appropriate methods to
test these hypotheses, and critically evaluate the results obtained from
applying these methods for the hypotheses and theoretical ideas
PSYC 510-001 — Abnormal Behavior in Children
Prerequisite: PSYC 420 or 410 or consent of instructor
M W F 1:25 p.m. - 2:15 p.m. GAMB 250
Dr. Robert Deysach- This course is designed to provide students an overview of the emotional and behavioral difficulties that bring children to the attention of the mental health system. These difficulties are compared against a backdrop of normal development and typical social demands made on children. Traditional topics covered include depression, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, gender role issues, drugs, autism and learning disabilities. Less traditional areas of focus include traumatic brain injury, coping with illness and death, adoptions from abroad, exorcism, shyness and body piercing as they relate to work with children and adolescents. The course utilizes a lecture format with all lecture materials posted on BlackBoard. Lectures include liberal use of video taped examples of the various disorders. In addition to the basic text, students will read a casebook covering the various disorders. Four multiple choice tests serve as the basis for the class grade. Students wishing graduate credit will additionally be expected to complete a short term paper.

Dr. Robert Deysach- This seminar is designed to provide a substantial base for the study of acquired impairments in cognitive and emotional functioning resulting from changes in , or damage to, the brain. Lectures attempt to provide a relevant background in neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and neuropathology based on the belief that a working knowledge of the neurological organization of the brain is indispensable in dealing with the difficulties that come from organic illness and injury. Live and taped examples of sympotms are used to assist in defining and recognizing clinical conditions. The syndromes studied include - aphasia and language related disorders, disorders of attention, memory and executive skill, memory disorders and disorders of perception as well as emotional disorders and dementias. Patient populations include traumatic brain injury, cerebral vascular disease and accidents, and a variety of neurophysiological disorders. Students will be exposed to the various tests developed for use with these populations. Although the major focus is on adults, conditions and methods used with children will be included. Three tests and a paper form the basis for seminar grades.

Topics include cognitive and socio-emotional development. Within each phase of the lifespan, we also consider the biological, environmental, cultural, and social influences on development. Readings come from a comprehensive text on theories of development, as well as from both classic and recent papers in the field. The course is conducted in a seminar format consisting of student presentations and discussion. The primary goal is to help students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills through discussion and debate of theories and research in developmental psychology. Grades are based on 1) final paper and oral presentation on a topic of the student’s choice within developmental psychology (35%), 2) weekly reaction paragraphs and questions on readings (25%), 3) two presentations of assigned readings to the class (15% each), and 4) participation in class discussions of the readings (10%).
