Cognitive Program The Cognitive Psychology program includes course work and research in the following areas of cognition: perception, attention and performance, learning and memory, reading and language processing, visuo-spatial cognition, skill acquisition and expertise, reasoning and problem solving, judgment and decision making, and human-computer interaction. Faculty and student research addresses central issues and questions in these domains using traditional experimental, computational (both connectionist and production system models) and mathematical modeling, and cognitive neuropsychology and neuroscience methods. In collaboration with the faculty members, the students in the Cognitive Psychology program are required to maintain an active research program throughout their term of study. Students are expected to complete six half-semester proseminars covering research methods, sensation and lower-level perception, higher-level perception, learning and memory, language, and higher-level cognition. An integrated cognitive neuroscience approach is emphasized in these courses. In addition, statistics and other specialized graduate seminars are required. Joint PhD programs in Cognitive Science or Cognitive Neuroscience are also available. There are also a number of faculty members with interests in developmental issues, as well as faculty with interests in cognitive neuroscience issues.
