  • PSYC 220 Sensation and Perception 6 credits

    We will address the question of how humans acquire information from the world to support action, learning, belief, choice, and the host of additional mental states that comprise the subject matter of psychology. In other words “How do we get the outside inside?” We will initially consider peripheral anatomical structures (e.g. the eye) and proceed through intermediate levels of sensory coding and transmission to cover the brain regions associated with each of the major senses. Readings will include primary sources and a text. In addition to exams and papers, students will conduct an investigation into an area of personal interest. A grade of C- or better must be earned in both Psychology 220 and 221 to satisfy the LS requirement.

  • PSYC 238 Memory Processes 6 credits

    Memory is involved in nearly every human activity: We use our memory not only when we reminisce about the past, but when we study for our exams, talk to our friends, and tie our shoes. This course explores the psychological science of human memory. We will examine different types of memory, how we encode new memories and retrieve old ones, how to ensure a memory is never forgotten, and how to implant a false memory in someone else. In doing so we will look at both old and new research, and discuss how memory research can be applied to some real world environments, such as courtrooms and classrooms. By the end of the course you will be familiar with the major issues in the field of memory research, be able to evaluate the quality of the studies used as evidence in these debates, and be able to conduct experimental research of your own. You must enroll in both the lecture and a lab section; although you will receive two separate grades for each component, the two will be closely integrated. A grade of C- or better must be earned in both Psychology 238 and 239 to satisfy the LS requirement.

    PSYC 239 required. A grade of C- or better must be earned in both PSYC 238 & 239 to satisfy the LS requirement.
