PSYC 101-002 — Introduction to Psychology
M W F 2:30 p.m. - 3:20 p.m., PETG 000
Dr. Neil Levens
- This course is designed to give you an overview of basic psychological theories and concepts. My intention is to demonstrate that the study of psychology has everyday implications for how we, among other things, learn, communicate, socialize, and interact with our environment. Throughout the course I will emphasize critical thinking skills in relation to psychology so that you may evaluate the validity of psychological research that you may encounter. By the end of the course I want you to be able to use your knowledge of psychology to improve your own lives.
PSYC 101-003 — Introduction to Psychology
T TH 8:00 a.m. - 9:15 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. It goes on to include 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 other applications of 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.

Dr. Neil Levens
- This course is designed to introduce you to the basics of empirical (i.e. scientific) research. As such, I will show you how to conduct and interpret psychological research, including naturalistic observation, survey, and experimental designs. During the semester we will conduct several experiments in class to help demonstrate basic principles. In addition, I want to develop your critical thinking skills so that you can evaluate the validity of research that you may encounter. Therefore, by the end of the semester you will be better "consumers" of research and able to make judgments about findings you may come across.

Dr. Diane Follingstad- This Spring, I will be teaching Abnormal Psychology. The only prerequisite for this course is Psychology 101, although it is useful for students to have had even some of the 226-228 course sequence. The course is presented in several segments. The initial segment provides the groundwork for the course by focusing on the issues of defining abnormality, historical aspects of the field, the basic theoretical models which influence assessment, diagnostic considerations and treatment of individuals with disorders and general causes. The largest segment of the course reviews the many major diagnostic categories, addressing everything from prevalence, description, etiology, and treatment of the disorders. The final segment focuses on the impact of psychopathology for the community and society. The aim of the course is to provide frameworks for understanding the development of disorders and how they fit on the continuum from normal to abnormal. Videoclips, movies, roleplays, and demonstrations are part of the classroom experience to enhance the lecture material.

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.

M W F 1:25 p.m. - 2:15 p.m., BA 436
Dr. James Appel
- This course will be given in conjunction with PSYC 735. It will survey 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 (Meyer, J.S. and Quenzer, L.F. Psychopharmacology: Drugs, the Brain and Behavior. Sunderland MA, 2005), and classroom discussion.

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., BA 582
Dr. Robert Deysach- The purpose of this course is to provide a student a more in-depth exposure to the clinical disorders of childhood against a background of expectations based on the study of normal development, family and peer relations and biopsychology. An attempt is made to draw both on research and clinical experience in conceptualizing the diagnosis and treatment of attention, mood, anxiety, conduct and other disorders. Links between the laboratory findings, classical conceptions of abnormal child behavior and current events (e.g., school shootings, bullying, etc.) are discussed. Primarily a lecture format is used with lecture material available on BlackBoard. Liberal use is made of videos for case examples. Although there is overlap with various child and abnormal psychology courses, students are examined on material specific to this course. Tests utilize a multiple choice format. The main text for the class is Abnormal child psychology (3rd Ed.) by Mash and Wolfe with Kearney’s Casebook of child behavior disorders (2005) as a supplement.

Examples include bullying and school violence, the use of psychiatric medications in children, and the long-term effects of exposure to natural disasters or sexual abuse. The course will be taught in a seminar format and will encourage the development of critical thinking skills. Therefore, emphasis will be placed on class participation/discussion, in-class activities, writing, and reading original journal articles. Grades will be based on three exams and a variety of writing assignments, mostly brief. Students will be able to earn extra credit through class participation.

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.

Dr. James Appel
- The course will be given in conjunction with PSYC 503, Section 501 (SCHC). It will survey 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 (Meyer, J.S. and Quenzer, L.F. Psychopharmacology: Drugs, the Brain and Behavior. Sunderland MA, 2005), and classroom discussion.

- This is a two semester course that is planned to provide students who have had a minimum of three community psychology courses. The course consists of several components: basic readings, working on a practicum team project with a community agency, and weekly class meetings. A major purpose of the class is to provide students with the experience of working on a team on a project that is meaningful to a community agency. This will enable students to use community psychology content and skills in a real setting. Several community skills share a common ground with clinical skills such as relationship building and understanding interpersonal dynamics.

Dr. Jeanne Shinskey
- This is a 3-credit graduate-level seminar course focusing on the development of numerical abilities in infants and young children. The following are examples of some of the questions we will study. Do animals and infants have similar ways of representing number? How much of number knowledge is innate vs. learned? What are some alternative explanations for evidence suggesting that infants can add and subtract? How much do preschoolers really understand about number when they start counting? Why do infants and children appear to use different systems for reasoning about small numbers vs. large numbers? In what ways do enumeration abilities interact with other domains of knowledge such as knowledge about objects, about categories, or about problem-solving strategies? What explains some of the advantages of Asian children in the number domain as early as preschool? Are there early gender differences in numerical abilities? Are there SES differences in early numerical abilities? How does schooling affect children’s understanding of number? How aware are young children of stereotypes about numerical abilities, (e.g., boys do better than girls, or Asian-Americans do better than Caucasians)? How early does giftedness in mathematics emerge? How early do learning disabilities emerge?
Readings come from recent review chapters and empirical journal articles. 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 on the development of number representation. We also consider the biological, environmental, and cultural influences on numerical abilities. Grades are based on 1) reaction paragraphs and questions on readings (30%), 2) facilitation of class discussion for assigned readings (25%), 3) final paper on a topic of the student’s choice within number representation in infancy and early childhood (25%), 4) oral presentation to the class on final paper (10%), and 5) participation in class discussions (10%).
