PSYC 2145 - Introductory Cognitive Psychology
Primary Instructor - Fall 2018 / Spring 2021 / Fall 2022 / Spring 2023
Introduces the study of human cognitive processes and covers perception, attention, memory, language, problem solving, reasoning, and decision making. Focuses on basic research and theory in cognitive psychology but also considers their implications for everyday applications such as effective learning and retention, multitasking, and eyewitness testimony.

PSYC 4541 - Special Topics in Psychology - Social Science
Primary Instructor - Spring 2021 / Spring 2022
Examines individual or social dimensions of human behavior. Students will develop expertise in basic theories, as well as in measurement techniques and data interpretation regarding issues of societal significance. Students will consider applications of that knowledge, ranging from the development of new theory to solving problems. Particular section content is determined by instructor. PSYC 4541 and/or PSYC 4551 may be taken 3 times with different topics, for a total of 9 credits

PSYC 5541 - Special Topics in Psychology
Primary Instructor - Spring 2021 / Spring 2022 / Spring 2024
Studies and analyzes special interest topics from the broad and diversified field of psychology. Particular section content is determined by instructor. May be repeated up to 9 total credit hours, provided the topics vary. Instructor consent required for students outside of the department.

PSYC 5685 - Research Methods Proseminar
Primary Instructor - Fall 2019
Main topic is research methods in cognitive psychology, with an emphasis on experimental methods. Skills and knowledge will be gained that are necessary to A) critically evaluate existing research and B) design, conduct, analyze and write up experimental studies. Required for graduate students in Cognitive Psychology. May be repeated up to 4 total credit hours.

PSYC 5695 - Memory Proseminar
Primary Instructor - Spring 2019
Provides beginning Ph.D. students with a basic introduction to (primarily human) memory research. One of the six required proseminar for students in the Cognitive Psychology Ph.D. program. Includes consideration of experimental, theoretical, behavioral and cognitive neuroscience perspectives on memory. Instructor consent required for students outside of the department.

PSYC 5815 - Language Proseminar
Primary Instructor - Spring 2018 / Spring 2022
Introduction to research on human language. A required proseminar for Cognitive Psychology Ph.D. students. Covers research at the cognitive, neural, and computational levels. Addresses phenomena at the levels of phonology, grammar, and meaning. Emphasizes interrelationships between language and other domains of cognition (perception, memory, executive function). May be repeated up to 4 total credit hours.

PSYC 6200 - Issues and Methods in Cognitive Science
