PSYC 210 Analysis of Psychological Data
Permission of Instructor Required. Completion of both PSYC 210 and PSYC 211 fulfills the WID Requirement.

PSYC 430 Human Memory
The purpose of this course is to gain knowledge of research in memory that is both deep and broad, with an emphasis on Episodic and Eyewitness Memory. We explore theory of how to define memory and what we know about the brain’s role in memory processes. Along the way, we explore theoretical and methodological questions to try and gain a grasp of what is known, unknown, and unknowable in a science of memory. A strong emphasis in the course is on the research that our knowledge comes from and the challenges in applying this research to situations outside the laboratory.

PSYC 330 Autobiographical Mem Rsch Meth
Cognitive psychology is the study of how the mind processes information, including vision, attention, memory, and decision making, among others. In this course, students will learn about autobiographical memory, or memory for events in a person’s life that are considered relevant to understanding a sense of self. Although cognitive psychologists use many different methodologies (including experimental methods, reaction time tasks, and even brain imaging), this course focuses on analyzing personal memory narratives to draw conclusions about memory and selfhood. In doing so, methods covered include reliability and validity, experimenter control when studying memory, correlational and quasi-experimental approaches to data, ethics, and real-world applications of research. This intensive lab course will include the design and implementation of an original research project in the area of autobiographical memory. Three hours classroom plus three hours laboratory a week. Prerequisites: 210 & 211; OR NRSC 200.
