PSYCH 356 - Research Methods in Cognition

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-3)

A detailed examination of some of the common methods used for investigating cognitive processes. Topics include response time methods, priming paradigms, tachistoscopic presentation techniques, reading time measurement, and the use of recognition and recall tests. The focus of the course will be on the application of these methods to current theories and issues in cognitive psychology. Laboratories will provide students with first-hand experience at applying these methods to research problems. Prerequisite: PSYCH 258. [Faculty of Science]

PSYCH 367 - Perception

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-0)

An introduction to theoretical and experimental issues associated with sensory and perceptual experience. Prerequisites: PSYCH 275 or 258. [Faculty of Science]

PSYCH 375 - Introduction to Cognitive Neuroscience

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-0)

Brain basis of human cognition studied using a diverse range of techniques, with a focus on measures of brain activity such as functional neuroimaging and electrophysiology and on experimental findings in neurologically intact participants. Topics include perception, motor control, attention, memory, language, emotion, and development/aging. Prerequisite: PSYCH 275.

PSYCH 505 - Conference Course in Psychology

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-3)

PSYCH 367 - Perception

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-0)

An introduction to theoretical and experimental issues associated with sensory and perceptual experience. Prerequisites: PSYCH 275 or 258. [Faculty of Science]

PSYCH 104 - Basic Psychological Processes

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-1/4)

Principles and development of perception, motivation, learning, and thinking and their relationship to the psychological functioning of the individual. Fulfillment of the 1/4 laboratory credit typically entails serving as a research participant, but can be fulfilled through the completion of alternative assignments. Note: PSYCH 104 is not a prerequisite for PSYCH 105. PSYCH 104 and 105 can be taken in either term, but not in the same term. [Faculty of Science]

PSYCH 258 - Cognitive Psychology

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-0)

A survey of findings of theoretical issues in the study of cognition, such as perception, attention, knowledge representation, memory, learning, language, reasoning, and problem solving. Prerequisites: PSYCH 104 or SCI 100. [Faculty of Science]
